Greetings, I use amanda 2.4.p2-4 with tar and I have a directory on one of my hosts that has an odd setup. I have seven mount points with seven subdirectories that I need to archive. Some of the sub directories have data at any given time and some do not. The data changes rapidly. My thought was that I could create a directory on / and symlink to the real directories (see below), but that is not working. What is happening is that only the symlinks are getting archived.
/newdir/link0 -> /mnt_pt0/dir /newdir/link1 -> /mnt_pt1/dir /newdir/link2 -> /mnt_pt2/dir (etc..etc) I believe that this is because of the one-file-system argument passed to tar by amanda. My question is two fold: 1) Is there any way to disable the one-file-system option? If so can this be done on a single disk list entry, new dumptype? 2) Should I just backup each directory seperate? This make restores confusing, as I have to issue a new amrestore cmd for each mount point. Any other suggestions? Thank you for your time. Andrew
