full-blown backup implementation.
Bunch of new user questions: can I put the holding disk on one
of the file systems I'm backing up (backing up the tape server host
itself)?
Does amanda backup the entire filesystem, both the
of amanda.conf and disklist, and i would put the ones i want
to run into place before running amdump. I am hoping that the
index database will be able to cope with some of the tapes getting
recycled before other (real) tapes in the cycle.
