Backup plan needs advice.
2003-06-24 12:41:54
Hello,
After a very long and hard time struggling with Amanda, I figured out
that it's the Athlon bug, and have
switched to an Intel. Now it works. However, I am still confused of some
things regarding the backup
plan, and hope someone will help me answer them.
I would like to back up everyday, in incremental, and a weekly full
backup once a week, on a specified
day. Let the full be on Monday, and the incrementals be on the rest of
the week. I now have to configs:
1. Weekly: has dumpcycle=0, runspercycle=1, tapecycle=1, strategy=noinc,
index=yes, and record=no
2. Daily: has dumpcycle=7, runspercycle=6, tapecycle=6,
strategy=nofull, , index=yes, record=yes
The Weekly full will call amadmin to set to run level 0 before it runs.
Q1: If I want the incrementals of a week to follow from that week's
full, how do I set the record??
(Mon : level 0, Tues-Sun : level 1 - backing up any changes from the
most recent Monday)
Q2. The Weekly full backup will be transferred to tape with a cycle of 8
tapes, then rotate. What do
I need to copy to tape beside the backup image?? index ?? log ?? debug
files ??
Thank you all,
|
