Yes,
edit your disklist, and change the dumptype from a dumptype that uses
DUMP into one that uses TAR.
e.g.
define dumptype high-tar {
global
program "GNUTAR"
comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
compress none
index
comment "partitions dumped with tar"
exclude list "/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar"
priority high
maxdumps 4
}
> Mixing dump and gnutar backups in the same tape cycle sounds scary :)
It's not.
I've been doing it for years (well, maybe not years, but at least a year
now)
