By that I assume you mean you want the client to be backed up by three concurrent amdump's? >When I run the first set, i have no problems , but the secont and third run >returns the following message on mail: > >FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: >� tulio � � �/var lev 0 FAILED [tulio NAK: amandad busy] That's as expected. A client can only be in *one* configuration that runs at a given time. >How do i ser the three concurrent jobs on the same amanda client ??? With the standard version, you don't, without changing the schedule to stagger the runs so they stay away from each other. I had this same problem here between the end of semester full dump we do to off site storage and the normal daily runs. I wrote a patch to add a new "servicename" parameter to amanda.conf. You have to create duplicate amanda /etc/services entries (but with different port numbers) and duplicate the inetd entries to enable them on the alternate ports. Finally, put those service names in amanda.conf so they each use their own amandad. Look in the E-mail archives for "SERVICENAME" or ask me offline and I'll send you the patch (it's not very large).
