Don't do the disk back up depending on the DB type your using some will be corrupt, Try ZRM for that. Real easy setup on zrm. and you can do remote for the ZRM. I run a Single task to back up all the etc directories and some home or var directories on each server. Not sure of the method it uses if it send the tasks off to be done simultaneous or sends the tasks one by one by this is a sample report from last night. I think one by one. Makes it nice and easy to read and shows errors when they occur. You may notice it was a very small backup due to incremental, even when it auto called full backup on some paths. These dumps were to tape DailySet1-01. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DailySet1-02.
