1) I would have to "split" a physical tape change into 2 logical changers:
12 tapes for "daily" runs (= storage 1)
12 tapes for "full-only" runs (= storage 2)
(How) would amanda handle that? As there is only one tape drive it would
have to keep everything in the holding disk and write it 2 times
sequentially to each tape(set).
I am working on 2 sites using multiple storages. One runs OK already
using 2 changers in parallel.
The second one only has one tape library.
I define one changer using slots 1-4 (storage1) and the 2nd changer with
slots 5-8 (storage2).
Both changers use the same and only tape drive ... that's why I need
sequential processing.
I am unsure how to use that correctly.
My approach so far (not yet fully tested):
# daily cronjob
/usr/sbin/amdump config -ostorage=storage1
combined with
flush-threshold-dumped 200 # (or more)
flush-threshold-scheduled 200 # (or more)
taperflush 200
autoflush yes
this should keep the holding disk files.
Now if I want to write these to storage2: do I run amdump or amflush?
(assuming I use "-o storage=storage2")
That second storage should be allowed to clear the written DLEs from the
holdingdisk.
