Hey all,
I'm setting amanda up for the first time and I had a
queston about the optimal setup. We have a Seagate
Scorpion autoloader over here where I work, that
contains 6 DDS4 tapes(each having a capacity of (20 GB
uncompressed/40 GB compressed) or 180GB/240GB.
Now, I have to backup over 70 GB data. We have four
sets of these tapes(i.e 6x4), and would like to rotate
these tapes every month. I.e. use the tapes for week
1 over again.
Right now, I'm just trying to backup the data on the
server(a samba share of 70 GB). Now from reading I
found out that amanda doesn't span dump images across
tapes. So does this mean I need one tape for every
day of the week, and two tapes for that one day that a
full backup occurs?? What would be the best way to set
this up?? A little advice/nudge would be much
apperciated.
I assume this isn't too atypical of a setup.
Apperciate all the help, thanks!
