Hi,
how do I split partitions to get smaller dumps? I have two partitions that are too large to be backed up to one tape as a whole. Backups are to a tape changer, so once a tape is full, amanda should automtically change to the next tape and continue the backup run.
As far as I've been reading here and in the docs, I would have to set up dumptypes using tar and exclude lists. I would somehow backup /home/[a-c]*, /home/[d-f]* and so on.
But that doesn't seem to be a good solution. I would have to create 10 different dumptypes and 10 exclude lists to get it going from a-z and for /home itselfe in case there are directories/files created that have other names than those starting with a-z.
There must be some better way ... GH
