is excluding /usr/local/var/amanda a bad idea ?
2005-11-10 15:45:24
I excluded /usr/local/var/amanda from my amanda server backup because
amanda was complaining a lot about strange backups (the indexes and db
were updated while amanda was running tar on them, or something like
that)
I'm realizing that if I lose this directory for some reason (ex:
destroy the db or index directories by error) I will no longer be able
to use amrecover and get a list of the backups that are on a particular
tape. Or restores will be a lot more difficult, until I go through a
complete dumpcycle.
Say you lose the amanda indexes and db, is there some sort of way to
rebuild it from the tapes ? Or a way to know what files (and last
modified date) are on which tapes ?
Thanks
