Anyone?
Thanks. Johan From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Johan Booysen Sent: 15 March 2011 12:25 To: [email protected] Subject: monthly archive config I'd really appreciate it if someone can just go over what I'm doing below, so I don't miss out anything silly. I'm using Amanda version 2.6.0p1, and finally cannot effectively make full backups each night anymore, so I'm looking into using Amanda the 'classic' way and to set up another config for monthly full backups. If I recall correctly, then something like this should work for the monthly backup runs. I simply made a copy of my daily config and am just modifying the existing files, e.g. amanda.conf: dumpcycle 0 to make full backups on each run runspercycle 1 not really sure about this because dumpcycle is 0?? tapecycle 12 tapes one tape for each month of the year, but will actually use 15 in the set up tapes for the odd amflush, if necessary index yes to generate the catalogue for use by amrecover record no apparently: "This is normally enabled for daily backups and turned off for periodic archival runs." (Amanda wiki) infofile "/etc/amanda/monthly/curinfo" logdir "/etc/amanda/monthly" indexdir "/etc/amanda/monthly/index" Other than that, because I made a copy of the daily config, I've cleaned out the copied config folder's index and log files, and tapelist file. Does that look sensible? Thanks. Johan
