Question 3:
>From reading the documentation it seems that I have to backup a
complete filesystem and can not simply define a b/u directory like a
/home/user1
Is this correct?
Question 4:
The tapedevice is:
define tapetype SDLT320 {
comment "HP Super DLTtape I, data cartridge, C7980A"
length 139776 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 13980 kps
}
I obtained the specifics from the Amanda wiki. When I define the b/u
job in the dump type definitions section of amanda.conf do I need to
specify any compression? I do not think that the tape drive does
any. At least with BRU you do not need to worry about that setting.
Question 5:
I have also read that amanda is not able to append to a tape. At the
moment the incrementals and differentials write to the same tape for
the same b/u job. If I can not append to the tape do I need to
change them after each incremental? I think I am not understanding
this correctly.
Thanks!
