We have 2 amanda tape servers in our backup strategy, one has a 35/70 DLT and the other has a DDS tape drive. Due to recent data volume increases the DDS drive is no where near large enough to backup all the data on that server. Is it possible to keep the DDS backing up what it is at the moment and backup the other recently added partitions with the other server which has the DLT. I suspect this is possible but will there be any issues with running two different backup sets(On different servers) which are backing up from the one server.
Another factor is I'm running one server(DLT) with amanda 2.4.2p2 and backup user as root and the other server(DDS) is running 2.4.3b3 with backup user as bin. I suspect I may have to change this so both servers are using the same backup user for the sake of the amandad in the inetd.conf. Would I also have to be running the same version of amanda on both servers? ----------------------------------------- David Flood Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 (0)1224 262721 The Robert Gordon University School of Computing St. Andrews Street Aberdeen -----------------------------------------
