Even though the Amanda docs' recommendation for off-site storage is a separate config (always full, no record), I'm trying to minimize the client load and bandwidth while making a separate set of tapes for off-site storage. Is there a way to do either of the following:
Write the same data to two drives simultaneously? Filling the tape might be an issue, but I guess if you hit EOM on either drive you could restart the current image on both. Leaving level 0s on the holding disk after a write so that something like amflush could make another tape of it? Some of my backups are across a WAN and take several hours, dragging the data across twice seems like a gross inefficiency. I could just make direct copies of the tapes, but two separate writes has better odds of having at least one good one.
