Right now I back up my Netware server with Arcserve to a
single tape. I have 10 tapes. The system is set up to accept
any tape and run a full backup. What we do is keep the tapes
in rotation and if someone forgets to bring a tape back from
off site it is no big deal we just use the next one.

Amanda is much better than that. It will but the backup in a holding disk
i.e. folder/partition until space runs out or hits the limit you set.
It will not overwrite another tape unless you force it by hand, which
is good.
You don't have to figure out which tape, amanda tells

So... is amanda really not made for disaster recovery? That's great
that it will back up to a holding disk with no tape but if the hard
drive dies it's rather meaningless.
I don't understand the leap you've made here.
The holding disk is a buffer to allow multiple items to be

To me that's ideal since the data collection
in our factory runs 24-7. Even on Sat and Sun when I'm not
there the tape is still over written with the latest data.
If Amanda does only copies the data to a holding area and
we lose a

Indeed! Even better, though perhaps impractical, would be to
back the data up across the network to a remote site.
Rsync might

I guess that is my problem. I am currently configured to have
the holding disk on the same physical drive. The best option
appears to be to purchase a new drive. One question though...
I assume the new drive should be at lease
