Hello.
I have used Amanda 3.3.9 for backup.
But I heard Amanda 3.4.1 supports Rest API, so I tried this version.
When I tested this version, I found a tapelist file format was changed.
There are additional features, such as pool, storage, etc.
I searched about these features, but there is little data and I couldn't
find example about this.
I want to know why this features are added, and what is the concept.
I share your wish for learning about these new terms and concepts.
The man page for amanda.conf mentions them but doesn't really explain
them or provide examples.
So we can (a) ask Jean-Louis ;-) or (b) try and error a bit.
*warning* : just guessing below
For (b) I start with "amadmin config myconf" and find a block "DEFINE
STORAGE myconf". As the manpage tells there is a default storage defined
at least (implicitly). And you can define additional storages to make
amanda store its dumps to.
As far as I understand a key parameter might be "dump-selection": by
setting that we can configure behavior like:
put DLEs a,b,c to storage "one"
put full dumps to storage "two"
put incrementals of DLEs d,e,f to storage "three"
etc
right?
Additional you have the vaulting pool(s) definition for amvault.
Interesting features for bigger installations ... looking forward to
some tests.
