Does amanda have any type of variables in its config files? I already have a common file referenced by the three amanda.conf files, as well as a common disklist. I'm thinking of a $profile so that I can define the holding disk, index directories and etc in the common file...
Close, the include directive.
I got tired of seeing 99 dumptypes, 89 tapetypes, ... in amanda.conf. So I broke them (and others) out into 5 separate files in a common directory. The 5 categories (and my file names) are DumpTypes, HoldingDisks, NetworkInterfaces, TapeTypes, and Templates. I have them set up like:
... | amanda | ------------------ | | | | conf1 conf2 conf3 CommonConfFiles
I wonder if the amanda developers would accept a submission of an updated split up default config...
/etc/amanda |-- DailyFile1 | |-- amanda.conf | |-- disklist -> ../disklist | `-- tapelist |-- DailySet1 |-- DailyTape1 | |-- amanda.conf | |-- disklist -> ../disklist | `-- tapelist |-- WeeklyTape1 | |-- amanda.conf | |-- disklist -> ../disklist | `-- tapelist |-- amanda-common.conf |-- crontab.amanda |-- disklist `-- exclude.gtar
I edited the above slightly, eg. editor backups~ did not seem relevant.
I have no idea.
My individual reaction is that it might be best included as a set of example configs. I suspect that many new (and maybe older) amanda admins would love to see a sample virtual tape configuration, a daily compared to weekly config, ... But to have them as the "default" ...?
Ok, s/default/bundled/
I don't think you can use amanda unless you customize the configs, and making the config that comes with amanda more flexible and requiring less wheel re-inventing would be great.
