WAB, This has been discussed before I'm sure my ideas are not unique.
In my jukebox which has multiple slots for tapes I've established a second tape pool which will only be used on Saturdays and I run a separate amanda.conf that I've configured to use "always-full" in the disklist. You can do the same with a single drive and a second tape pool. A second way, if you really want to mess with the weekly schedule is to put in (I assume unix running amcheck/amdump) your crontab file (for the amanda user) an amadmin command to "force" level 0 on your file systems. I'm sure there are other options as well. > I know that one of Amanda's greatest strengths is that it uses a good > algorithm to adjust when to do level 0's, level 1's, etc. Leave it to me > to want to mess it all up! > > I'm wondering if it's possible to Force a level 0 of a certain > filesystem on a certain day, say, Friday. > > ~wab~ >
