That is a little tricker, but only from the timing point of view. An amanda client can only respond to one amanda server at a time, so while you can backup a client from more than one server, you can not do so simultaniously, you have to stagger when during the day the servers run. It is not enough to backup different DLEs on a single client from a single server, you the client will only communicate with a single server at any give time. It is ALWAYS a good idea to test your restores. A good argument can be made that you are not so much interested in backing up your system as in being able to restore it. --- Brian R Cuttler [email protected] Computer Systems Support (v) 518 486-1697 Wadsworth Center (f) 518 473-6384 NYS Department of Health Help Desk 518 473-0773 IMPORTANT NOTICE: This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential or sensitive information which is, or may be, legally privileged or otherwise protected by law from further disclosure.
