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, Edwin R. Rivera UNIX Administrator Tel: +1 305 894 4609 Fax: +1 305 894 4799 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
