Hey Folks,

I'm sure I'm not the first one to think of doing this...

In case of backup server failure, I 'rsync' all my configuration files in /etc with the Amanda index files onto another server. If my server crashes or becomes unavailable, I have instantaneaous access to my backup indices and configurations without mucking about and trying to find it on the backup tapes without an online Amanda setup.

I just thought I'd put my two cents worth after reading the message about Gavin Henry's backup server crash.

Bye.
