Hi All,
I use amanda 2.5.0p2 for our backup requirements with RHEL3 Linux being the OS
of the amanda server. Till now we have been backing up only one directory on
our fileserver which contains the home directories- say /vol/vol1/home. More
importantly, the backup client and the backup server are the same machine ie
the amanda server backs up a directory on itself. We have been using daily
incremental backups and monthly full backups using 2 different backup
configurations - say backdaily and fullback respectively. Now I need to change
the backup configuration of the monthly full backups such that it not only
backs up /vol/vol1/home on this original amanda server/client machine but also
the nfs shares of a netapp network storage device and one other autofs/nfs
Linux server.
I referred the doc at
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/How_To:Backup_Partitions_Mounted_via_NFS
I just need to confirm whether whatever I have understood from this doc is
correct. What I understand is that I need to mount these nfs shares from 2
different servers on some Linux host on the network and modify the disklist of
my amanda full backup configuration to include the new amanda client. For eg my
disklist file would look like
<amanda-client-1> /vol/vol1/home {
root-tar
estimate calcsize
}
## Above is the original config. Given below is the additonal config
## for backing up the nfs shares mounted on an nfs client
<amanda-client-2> /nfs/project1 {
root-tar
estimate calcsize
}
<amanda-client-2> /nfs/project2 {
root-tar
estimate calcsize
}
## end of disklist
Would like to know whether my understanding is correct,whetehr this will work
and whether all these DLEs can be backed up on a single tape media.
Hope I have described my query clearly. Kindly advise.
Thanks in advance.
Yogesh
