Not being a Linux user Paul, are the LVM, RAID, and filesystem snapshots
a standard feature of your system?  How have you incorporated them into
amanda backups?


RAID, and LVM are standard features of a recent Linux.
With LVM you can make snapshots, similar to "fssnap" on Solaris 8.
I just implemented a first working version, using a gnutar wrapper script, of using snapshot-backups with amanda. I was investigating how to incorporate the feature more solid it into the program. When I make more progress and have a stable version, I will surely send something to the list.
