Thanks.
Not quite, but something similar. Each day I tarball the config files
and stuff them into a sister directory to the vtape directory. I use a
script like so:
#! /bin/bash
# Run the amanda dumps and back up key amanda data. Run this as the
# backup user.
config="DailySet1"
/usr/sbin/amdump ${config}
umask 0066
cd /
tar cjf /media/backs/amanda/back.var/var.lib.amanda.${config}.$(date
+\%a).tar.bz2 \ var/lib/amanda/ --exclude=*~
tar cjf /media/backs/amanda/back.etc/etc.amanda.${config}.$(date
+\%a).tar.bz2 \ etc/amanda/ --exclude=*~
tar cjf /media/backs/amanda/back.log/log.amanda.$(date +\%a).tar.bz2 \
var/log/amanda/ --exclude=*~
I think that gets everything. The naming scheme should work with
multiple configurations. It also ensures a week's worth of backups.
