Hi, I have a 120 gig server that I need to back up. I want to do /boot ; / ; and /var on one tape, and /home on a second. I have chg-zd-mtx as my autoloader driver.
Here's the question. If I configured my disklist file like this: bigserver /boot always-full bigserver / always-full bigserver /var always-full bigserver /home always-full When Amanda is done with /boot, /, and /var say there is only 10gig left on tape 1. Will amanda automatically 'see' the lack of space and autoload a new tape before starting on /home? Or should I create another config directory like this: /etc/amanda/bgserver-Daily-roots /etc/amanda/bgserver=Daily-home If this is the right idea, I also need to know if I just copy ALL of the files (except disklists of course) from one directory to the other so that they match? Here's a list of files that would be listed in one of the above pseudo-directories. Which ones need to be copied accross to the other config directory? Assume I have been only running backups on bgserver-Daily-roots. These files are now already existing in that directory. amanda.conf mtx-changer-access mtx-changer-clean mtx-changer.conf mtx-changer-barcodes mtx-changer-slot tapelist tapelist.amlabel tapelist.yesterday disklist Now say I add a 80 gig home directory to the server. How should I configure Amanda to start a new tape when it gets to this new remote partition? Thanks a million! Scott Phelps
