We're moving away from tape based backups and have purchased a large disk array that directly attaches to my amanda server. I'm aware of the file driver for mimicking tape drives but should I even go that route? Why not just leave the backups on the holding disk?
Only way to leave backups in holding disk in current release is not to provide tapes for the backup run. It is difficult to remove backups from holding disks (it is possible, but not easy). Better support for holding disk as backup media will be supported when the following sourceforge bug is implemented in the next Amanda release http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1472579&group_id=120&atid=100120 Paddy
Any suggestions/information would be appreciated.
