(didn't show up on the ml, so I re-send) is there any good trick to do this:
on amanda-client-host I run backups of VMs to tarballs (using virt-backup and LVM) in my amanda config I have DLEs pointing at the generated tarballs Now it happens that the virt-backup isn't fully done when amanda already wants to dump the DLEs -> this results in invalid backups! I know, I could schedule amdump *after* all the virt-backups are done, but I would like to optimize that: amdump should be able to dump other DLEs in parallel already. One solution would be to use the starttime parameter? Rather static. plan B: make virt-backup create some lock-file during its runs and make the amanda DLE wait to be dumped until after that virt-backup lock file has been removed. Does anyone of you already have such a setup running?
