Are there performance concerns associated with running amanda client and server i.e. for backing up non ip-tables or net filter firewalls in order to mitigate security concerns?
slightly off topic: if backing up onto holding disk could tapio (i think that is the name) scp or rsync over ssh the file to the holding disk of an amanda server that will move the backup it to tape? I have gleened this from bits and pieces of discussions over the years following the list but I don't recall anyone putting it all together? respectfully, raymond -----Original Message----- From: Johannes Niess To: klavs klavsen Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 4/11/02 6:44 AM Subject: Re: holdingdisk and localhost klavs klavsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hi guys, > > Does amanda use the holding disk, when backing up from localhost? > > If it were smart, it would skip the holding disk, as this would just > waste space.. > > The reason I'm asking is that I was considering use System Imager to > backup all clients to my backup-server, and then use Amanda to backup > localhost (and a few systems that System Imager doesn't work with). > > I wouldn't really want it to duplicate 50gb of backup.. :-( > -- > Regards, > Klavs Klavsen Klavs, Local use of the holding disk has some advantages: It decouples copying from writing to tape. Lazynes and security at inserting wrong/no tape media. Software compression speed might be slower than tape speed. I can't estimate whether the advantages apply in your situation. If not just set "holding disk = no" in the dumptype. Johannes Nie?
