Chris, How many work areas? How many tape drives?
I have one config per amanda service platform, I have several amanda server platforms, each backing up a unique and non-overlapping set of clients. Are you creating multiple amanda configs and running them from a single amanda server? You can do that, if they have non-overlapping clients, or you have structured them in a way that will backup level 0 from one config and never level 0 from the other, but that defeats the entire purpose of the amanda scheduler. Also I’d be very much surprised if you could successfully run multiple configs concurrently from a single server, you “might” be able to if you were able to assure unique sockets for each instance of the server, but I wouldn’t recommend such a setup. Oh, in the case of concurrent runs you want to make strictly certain that clients are unique to config, an amanda client can only reply to a single master, you can’t have multiple concurrent clients on the server end.

There is not much difference among the configs, but that is a topic for a different thread. My question is how I manage what AMANDA is doing? So, let's suppose I fire up all three amdumps at once: * How do I know if I'm getting level 0 or higher? * How do I know the backups are running and have not silently failed? * How do I know when they complete? * How do I know what has been accomplished? * : These are all the sort of questions that might be answered by some sort of dashboard, but I haven't heard of any such thing, nor do I expect to hear of any such thing, but I am also equally sure that all the answers exist. I just don't know where. In short, how do I monitor and mange AMANDA? Thanks for the help, -- Chris. V:916.974.0424 F:916.974.0428
