hello all,

I know these questions have been asked before, but I can't seem to be able
to dig them up in my archives.

First:  I have Amanda v2.4.2p2 on Linux RHv6.2 w/two 8 Tape DLT autoloaders
installed on two seperate SCSI Buses/Adapters

Q1:  Is it possible to run two simultaneous instances of Amanda (amdump) at
one time?  I have two tape devices each running a different configuration.
I'd like to run them both starting at midnight every night.  Each one writes
to a different tape device and uses a different holding disk.  I remember
someone posting once that they got a message like: "amdump is already
running"

Q2:  Where can I read up on some info on backing up Directories vs.
Filesystems?  I remember reading that I have to use GNU-Tar to do this (no
problem), however, I'd like to read up on a thread or web document if anyone
knows where i can get details on this, please let me know.


Thanks in advance everyone.

Keep on Amanda'ing.


Highest Regards,
