How do you perform your archival using Amanda? (very open ended question - asking through curiosity).
In the end I decided to use multiple configurations to do this. I split them up on a per-server basis. So one config represented a server. Though in one case I actually split a server in half and used two configs. This worked well, the only thing that went wrong was that I didn't always build the tape list up properly. So sometimes it didn't find the new tape it wanted. That was me/my fault though not Amanda. Need to be careful you don't get your tape lists in a pickle using this method. So I ran one - Config A. Then when I was happy A was done. Used Config B. Then Config C and so on. -------------------------------------------------------- I thought I'd sneak in one other question... Could someone clarify the part column. In this case it's the fourth part of the same DLE, but what does the -1 mean? part 4/-1 lev 0 comp .gz program /bin/tar thanks David ---------------------- David Simpson - Computing Support Officer Institute of Biomedical Engineering - IBME Old Road Campus Research Building Oxford, OX3 7DQ
