1) Yes, you can run two schedules, just don't send requests from both at the same time. AMANDA clients assume that they are only talking to one server at a time. `cp -r /amanda/Config1/* /amanda/Config2/` or so. 2) FAQ-O-Matic, flaky but informative:

Firewire Harddrive backup from X-Serve

2002-08-29 Thread Tony Shadwick
I just pitched a proposal to a client that is purchasing a Macintosh X-Serve. A tape changer drive is a bit pricey for their tastes, so they chose to go with a pair of large firewire hard drives that I take off site every few days. What I'm trying to decide is which would be more simple. A

Re: could not get changer info

I have tried other scripts and have had no success but this is the one I have put the most time into because I know the machine uses scsi commands the amanda changer is middle-ware between the amanda software such as amtape and the media changing software. Therefore one's decision is not

I would recommend not trying to debug the changer stuff from way up on high in AMANDA, but to debug at the command line by running the changer script directly... The ./docs/TAPE.CHANGERS document will guide you with the syntax to do this on the CL. If you have not already made all of AMANDA
