I took the liberty of deleting the comments and unneeded
tapetypes/dumptypes. 800 lines dropped to about 50.
Hope I did not drop anything significant to the discussion.
Amazing how "simple" amanda.conf can become.
I put two questions inline.
||
|| Here are the 2 parts of the config:
||
|| first file:
|| =====================
||
|| mailto "root"
|| dumpuser "amanda"
|| netusage 100000 Kbps
|| maxdumps 1
||
|| bumpsize 10 Mb
|| bumpdays 1
|| bumpmult 4
||
|| etimeout 1800
||
|| runtapes 1
|| reserve 0
||
|| define tapetype DEC-TZ89 {
|| comment "DEC TZ89 (hardware compression on: Xmn)"
|| length 29414 mbytes
|| filemark 24 kbytes
|| speed 1634 kps
|| }
||
|| ======================
||
|| and the other:
||
|| ======================
||
|| org "IS"
||
|| inparallel 1
||
|| dumpcycle 8
|| runspercycle 0
|| tapecycle 4
Not sure I understand this set of parameters.
runspercycle == 0 causes all level 0 dumps I believe.
In that case the "length" of the dumpcycle is immaterial.
Each time you run amdump, everything will get full dumps.
Are you saying you plan to run amdump once each 8 days
and that you want only level 0 dumps each run?
And further, you will rotate 4 tapes totaling 32 days
of backups available?
||
|| holdingdisk hd1 {
|| comment "main holding disk for IS"
|| directory "/data/amanda/IS"
|| use -1
|| chunksize 2 Gb
|| }
||
||
|| tapedev "/dev/null"
|| tapetype DEC-TZ89
Is your DEC tapedrive really attached to the null device?
Doesn't work very well that way does it? :))
|| labelstr "^IS[0-9][0-9]*$"
||
|| infofile "/var/lib/amanda/IS/curinfo"
|| logdir "/var/lib/amanda/IS"
|| indexdir "/var/lib/amanda/IS/index"
||
|| includefile "/etc/amanda/amanda-shared.conf"
||
|| ===================
||
|| the first file is used by all configs. The second one is one specific
|| config.
