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 back

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

I was reading through my amanda.conf and I saw this line: #You need a separate infofile and # logdir for each configuration, so create subdirectories for each conf and # put the files there. Specify the locations below. Well, I don't have separate infofiles and logdirs for each config, and nev

How to manage changer stage with multiple configs
