-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
We are currently setting up 2 amanda backup servers which require 3 different configs on each server. I think these are possible, but I would like the list to clarify them: Server 1: Config 1 - Ad-hoc backup which would be called by hand maybe once a month or longer and needs to be a full backup with one tape that gets overwritten each time. I was thinking: dumpcycle 1 day runspercycle 1 day tapecycle 1 tape Config 2 - Same as above, but different partitions etc. These two will probably be combined into the same amanda config. These are both for "by hand" full cold backups of oracle databases etc. Config 3 - Weekly backup. Every 5 days there is a full backup, with possibly only one tape that gets overwritten each time. I would prefer to do a 1 month dump cycle with 4 - 6 tapes (ie one a week)being used for a full weekly backup (it will be full, as the partitions will have completely changed over the week). Server 2: Config 1 & 2 - Same as Config 1 & 2 of Server 1. Config 3 - A full daily backup with however many tapes we decide for tape history. With both server's, oracle backups are being done, the 3 configs being different parts of the oracle install. The backup folders will change each day, so even if we use incremental backups etc. (letting amanda handle it all) they will be like a full backup due to the complete change of files. Does any of this make sense? Thanks, Gavin. - -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. Managing Director. T +44 (0) 1224 587369 M +44 (0) 7930 323266 F +44 (0) 1224 742001 E [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open Source.
