Hi, I am working with a very large RAID array which needs backing-up.
The array has 3 partitions, each containing approximately 150GB of files. I have a tape changer with 20 tapes, each holding 50GB of data. Since amanda currently will not back up a disk larger than a tape, I believe I need to specify smaller peices of the partitions in my disklist. What I am thinking about doing is writing a script which scans the partitions down to a certain depth and generates a disklist of peieces small enough to backup onto a single tape, using the GNUTAR method. Has anyone had a similar problem, and had any other solutions? Also, what is the effect on amanda of changing the disklist (perhaps every night)? The changes (when they occur) will all be different subpaths of the same partitions. Will this get amanda confused, or make it back up a lot of extra files, or is the gtar indexing able to handle this situation? Thanks in advance!!
