Hi,
I am looking at Amanda to solve my backup needs. Can Amanda work without tape
devices?
I need to backup a Linux box, Fedora 18, which will also act as the server, and
a Windows 7 box, which will only act as client.
Is that feasible? Which document will guide me through the
Erik,
Yes - if you have enough disk to configure virtual tapes you
can backup without physical tape. The docs are more than sufficient
and numerous people on the amanda list have configured their amanda
servers this way, myself included.

hi
I have a newbie question, I have a working amanda server and works very well.
My question is:
- If I modify the disklist file (adding/deleting/modify) the server still
working well or I must start from scratch following this guide ?

I assume you mean using SSH access so that transport is encrypted.
If you mean, encrypting the dumps, I can't answer that.
Hello Charles and thanks for your help.
No,I mean data storing encryptation, as this howto:

amanda do not use the dumptype when restoring, it use the information in
the backup.
It decrypt only encrypted backup.
if you enable encryption, the newer backup are encrypted, older backup
are still unencrypted and they are restorable.

Great ! Very good info. Thanks

You just think it does :-). It's going to bite you big time, though.
You **must** use /dev/nst0.
The /dev/st0 name is a rewinding device name. Whenever a program
closes such a name, the tape is automatically rewound. Using /dev/nst0
