It depends on what you change in the dumptype. >Should it only be done immediately before a level 0 or would it >not matter if the incrementals were different from the full? Again, it depends. > I want to quit using compression on a few filesystems ... That kind of change will not matter. Amanda writes information in the tape header that tell it everything it needs to know about compression. >... Also, would a switch between dump/tar handled the same way? This would have to be done at a full dump boundary since if you have a full dump of a file system in dump format, incrementals in tar format are useless. So make your dumptype change, then use "amadmin <config> force ...". >Frank John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
