I'm using Amanda with a Dell PV120T tape library, which has a DTL 4000 drive capable of writing 20GB uncompressed data to each tape. I have a directory that's currently tipping the scales at 30GB, and is only going to get larger. Normally, I would look into splitting this backup apart by subdirectory, but that's not going to work here:
* There are currently 409 subdirectories beneath the parent. * The structure of these subdirectories is mandated by the application, so I can't create some sort of top-level "grouping" directories. * Directories will be created, deleted, or renamed. A ridiculously simple solution to this whole problem would be using wildcards in the disklist file, e.g.,: localhost /export/data/[a-mA-M]* dumptype localhost /export/data/[n-zN-Z]* dumptype But of course this doesn't work :(. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem? Thanks, -- Lars
