Hello Folks,
What can I say...WOW. Thanks for all the advice and warnings for
creating a Montly backup concurrently with a Daily backup.
I didn't expect to get an answer so quickly. John, FYI, I'm using
2.4.2p1. I try to keep up with the latest versions. I'll try the
"strategic noinc".

Good point.
However, they cannot run at the same time because two amandad's cannot
run on a single client. I have some local mods that make the service
name an amanda.conf variable so I

That's the general theory.

They have access to everything, not just their own files.
There are also tape mounting issues. Amrecover does not currently
interface with the Amanda tape changers, so mounts ha
Not too long ago, I had some questions about recovering files, most
importantly, rebuilding a crashed machine using backups.
The most straightforward method appears to be to reinstall the operating
system, use native utilities (tar or dump) or install amanda utilities, then
restore the files.

I assume the goal is to do a full dump of everything?
Will it all fit on one tape?

What exactly is the nature of the security risk in using a sudo script for
users to recover files with Amanda. On previous systems we had the Legato
Networker package for file recovery and it had a set of user tools that
seemed to check the owner, group and file permissions and compare with the

Hey folks,
I've got a Daily config running fine with the following settings:

I'd like to have a second config called "Monthly". However, I'm not
sure what to put as
values for the above parameters. Here's what I was able to find from

So far, Amanda will do everything you've mentioned quite nicely.

Hello,
I have some rather general questions regarding Amanda that I could not
find the answers to on the online documentation. I am contemplating an
'upgrade' to my existing backup system (currently a collection of perl
scripts tied to a postgres database). I backup a moderate amount of data

Yeah, I guess that would do it. I always give Amanda an insanely large
number of tapes (runtapes) to work with for archival to make sure this
situation doesn't happen.

Note that the current release is 2.4.2p2, and there is a patch beyond
that on the patches web page which may or may not apply to your site.

Im currently using a single (big) holding disk.
I have 2 smaller disks, that I'd like to use as holding disks.
But the samller disks will not be able to hold the big 0 dumps.
According to the docs, the holding disks are used in a round-robin way
