Hello, tried with forums, but got no reply, so I'm trying here now...

I'm considering to upgrade my current backup system consisting of Amanda
and LTO-2 drive/tapes.

My needs are to regularly backlup my desktop machine (2X1TB disks in
raid-1) and occasionally perform backup of my netbook (320GB disk
drive).

Besides that I have collection of 13 LTO-2 tapes mostly uncompressed
material (old hi8 movies and scanned negatives).

Considering that LTO tapes are quite expensive and I'd have to buy at
least LTO-4 if not wanting to skip over two-generations lap, I'm
considering to switch to RDX disks/cartridges and wonder if anyone can
share their experience of using Amanda with RDX disk-based backup?

By looking at docs, I've found the following: "How To:Using removable
hard disk changers as Virtual tapes" from the wiki (forum software does
not allow me using URLs ), but would like to hear if/how Amanda is
suitable for the task?


Sincerely,
Gour
