For an offsite backup of my home system, I currently use rsync to update a single full backup on USB disk. But I would like to use Amanda (because I can schedule it better, because it can remind to attach the disk, because I can browse the backups in the same way that I browse my other backups, because I don't want to reinvent the wheel ...).
I am looking for an 'rsync' dumptype, which does full backups, but which nonetheless *updates* an existing backup on a single vtape. (This way, I don't actually have to wait the normal full-backup minutes, I only wait incremental-backup minutes, but what I have is still a full backup.) I've done plently of googling but not found anything. Does anybody know of such a dumpytype or have some suggestions as to how it might be easily implemented? Many thanks! Alexis
