small holdingdisk, large FS

2002-04-16 Thread Dan Debertin
One of my client hosts has a drive that is larger than my holding disk -- drive is 18G, holdingdisk is only 4G. No, I can't swap them, and no, I'd rather not buy a bigger disk right now. I would have thought that Amanda would dump the client to the holdingdisk in 1G chunks (isn't that what the "c

As far as I know, Samba won't change that bit just because it's tar that's asking for the file instead of a user. gnutar has its own mechanism (gnutar-lists) for tracking which files should be backed up during an incremental. So to answer your questions: 1) I don't think so 2) Nothing If we co

Amanda and NT shares

We have an SDLT drive that we'd like to use for full backups, but a small DDS2 drive for incrementals. The incrementals tend to be very small since we're a small research group, so it's a waste to do incrementals to the super large SDLT tapes. What I have setup now is 2 configurations, 1 t
