Hi everybody!
We have recently rented a root server in germany and installed debian sarge on it. A ftp share as large as the install HD is included in the server package accessable authenticated.
My question is: Is it possible at the time now to write the amanda backup directly onto the ftp share (AKA as holding disk)? Are there any options (usermount programs) to mount the ftp share as a "virtual" holding disk and has this whole procedure ever been executed successfully and documented?
Have you looked into http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ ?
Of course, you'd need rsync + ssh + real filesystem (with symlinks) on the other end (I'm currently just doing a crontabbed rsync to a remote
machine, which can sit at home if you have broadband -- it's downstream, not upstream the limit here).
I'd like to use this kind of "tapes"...
