Greetings. I currently run Amanda with a 15-day dump cycle, Mon-Fri, called "DailySet1".
I want to know if it's possible to do the following: 1. Make DailySet1 only run Mon-Thur; 2. Create a "WeeklySet1", with a 5-tape rotation, scheduled for Fridays, doing a level 0 on all filesystems. I was reading the book and it says you can do full archival dumps by "creating a new AMANDA configuration with its own set of tapes". This sounds similar to what I want to do but not exactly. Does this mean create a whole 'nother instance of AMANDA in some other directory(my guess), or just create the "WeeklySet1" file? The way it sounds, one instance of a total AMANDA configuration can only use one schedule set. any other thoughts on this, too, are indeed welcome. Thanks, Wayne Byarlay Purdue University Libraries
