Large number of entries in the disklist file?

2007-06-26 Thread Jordan Desroches
Fellow AMANDA users, In the past, I remember seeing something about AMANDA having trouble when there are a large number of disklist entries. First, am I remembering correctly, and second what constitutes a large number of entries? My current backup plan is to have about 1500-2000 entries

Hi, Is it possible to have 2 configs using 2 separate drives in a tape robot, i.e. can they share the changer interface? I don't mean use of RAIT. I have successfully set up 1 config with chg-zd-mtx then tried duplicating that to a 2nd config using chg-zd-mtx with a different set of tapes in

Hello again. In my struggle to get a working amanda config (working for my strange setup :) I reached the following decision: I'll use two configs, - Weekly, which does level-0 dumps to tape (using chg-zd-mtx) - Daily, which does incrementals to a virtual tape on disk (using chg-disk) As it is

Hi Harald, I'm going to ignore your details and key on the concept : you want to have a weekly and a daily back up. I wanted to do this too and went down the path of investigating multiple configurations like you are doing. But it really bugged me that I have to basically do 2 level-0

Matt, thank you for your help. I didn't think that I had ip_conntrack_amanda, so I was trying to set it up without it. When I tried your way, it worked like a charm. Note to archive readers: I think it's important to insert the line: -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.1 -d 192.168.1.30 -p udp -m udp --dport
