Deb, thanks very much for this detailed answer.
So if I understand correctly, if I follow your advice and have a number of
entries in my config's DLE, and call 'amdump myconfig', each DLE entry is
handled as a separate dump as amdump runs? That is, my main concern is to
do dumps in chunks so that
Yes, each DLE is handled as a separate dump --- which is why specifying the
spindle number is good, if several DLE's are on the
same spindle. (However, I never specify the spindle number!)
Yes, you definitely want your DLE's in chunks. A chunk of half the size of
your tape feels right to me.
Thanks for the reply. I don't have multiple configurations, I'm just trying
to figure out how to set things up.
So it sounds like I can have a single configuration that uses the same
group of tapes as defined by 'labelstr', and I use the DLE lists to break
things up into manageable chunks. Then
Since others have diverted into providing answers for your tape type, I'll
resurrect this question and give some sort of an answer.
Yes, you probably need just one configuration and one group of tapes labelled
per 'labelstr'. You create a list of DLEs to make smaller than tarp sized
chunks.
Hi,
I'm setting up amanda 3.3.4.
Regarding 'labelstr' in amanda.conf:
The documentation says: If multiple configurations are run from the same
tape server host, it is helpful to set their labels to different strings
(for example, DAILY[0-9][0-9]* vs. ARCHIVE[0-9][0-9]*) to avoid
overwriting

Does this mean that if I have multiple configurations in order to
break up a large 30TB data set into managable chunks, each
configuration will have to have a particular set of tapes assigned to
it? That seems very awkward if so.
Why would you make
