Hi Folks,
I am currently considering using Amanda for backing up one of my production

building it?

Hi,
am I pitching Amanda a curve ball by deleting one of the dated
directories from the holding disk? One night's backups went to
the holding disk. The next night's went to tape
without flushing the previous night's. This second backup was identical in
dump levels to the backups on disk.
Ok I will do this and if I remember correctly we can't run 2 amdumps in
one day - right - it isn't recommended right? And I do run it a
second time the amdump.xx log numbers will increment.
So I will unset this force flag on sda10 and let her run again tomorrow
am? Anyway I can dump 'only'
... I imagine Amanda will overlook this since they never made
it to tape but thought I would check nonetheless.
I think that's correct (for now). If you've redone the same backup level,
the curinfo data has been replaced. The only thing that has any memory
of the image is the log files, and
