Greetings, I'm pretty new to AMANDA. I have a few questions that will be helpful to me as I explore more AMANDA documentation.
1. Can the tape server be a system other then the AMANDA server or a system acting as both the client and the server. So in other words, lets say you have systems A, B, and C. System A is the client. System B, is the AMANDA server and system C is the tape server. Does the AMANDA architecture allow for this? 2. Does there have to be a tape device on the AMANDA server to successfully complete an archive generation, using amdump? I know that the "reserve" keyword in the amanda.conf file can take on various settings. However, I read in another newsgroup posting that AMANDA will by default attempt to create incremental backups when writing to the holding disk. Is there a way to tell AMANDA to write to the holding disk without it being incremental? 3. Is there a way to configure AMANDA to use udp instead of tcp or vice-versa? Many Thanks, Ron Goodwyn
