Hi all, Thanks for the help so far. This has saved me a lot of time.
I have a fair amount of data I'm looking to copy (potentially ~30TB) - that is data from multiple file-servers to multiple tapes and without LEOM. Am I correct in saying this is the implication(?) - Amanda will get so far through the disklist then realize it can't fit a DLE onto a tape then load the next [correctly labeled] tape? I will be loading 8 LTO6 tapes into the tape changer (currently max capacity). I only have this one tape changer at my disposal. I'm looking to do two things with the same data: 1) perform a one-off archive and remove the tapes for safe storage off-site 2) load a new set of tapes and use amanda as a near-line storage solution (quick backup/restore over network) Both of these can be achieved with the identical config I think? I just need to specify the exact days for 1) then remove the tapes... before doing so, will i need to use amadmin to say do not re-use these tapes? (incase I retrieve from safe storage to do a restore from) Does this sound sensible? dumpcycle 1 week runspercycle 5 tapecycle 8 ? cronjob to invoke amdump once sun-thur inclusive at night ... any new DLE configured fri, meaning full backup of new DLE performed sunday thanks David -------------------- David Simpson - Computing Support Officer IBME - Institute of Biomedical Engineering Old Road Campus Research Building Oxford, OX3 7DQ Tel: 01865 617697 ext: 17697
