Hi all, I've been tasked with coming up with a backup solution that can deal with 3 terabytes of storage. It may not all need backing up at once, and it's split between three servers about a terabyte each (I think).
It has to be unattended (Assuming enough stackers-n-tapes) - The question I have is about spanning tapes (or avoiding it!) - Obviously I can't fit 3tera's on one tape so what I need is the ability to fill tapes in succession using as much tape space as possible. Then the autostacking stuff changes tapes. Any suggestions? - Can the holding disk be configured to fill tapes using it's chunk size? I really can't find 'user level' documentation and I don't really understand all the options. Has anybody written something I haven't been able to find? Oh, I need to have something working at the end of this week! - I've got amanda working but the changer stuff is still fighting me (mtx works but can't integrate into changer scripts yet) - Although amamda is working I'm having difficulty understanding exactly what it did (planning wise) and why!
