The Size Question
2006-07-07 17:17:20
Hi, everyone -
I would like to suggest an update for the answer to the Size Question, one
of the top ten questions at http://www.amanda.org/docs/topten.html. I have
also seen this question on the Zmanda forums; that is, how to make a
single dump image aka disk list entry span multiple tapes. Traditionally,
the answer is that you can't.
As of Amanda 2.5, a single dump image can now span multiple tapes. To
quote Chander Kant from Zmanda, describing the new features list:
------->8-------
Dump images spanning multiple media volumes:
This major step forward alleviates Amanda's most significant limitation.
The size of the backed up images is no longer restricted to a single media
volume but may now span over several volumes. This gets rid of the need of
the administrator to artificially segment their data into parts which can
fit into a single media volume (as required in prior versions of Amanda).
------->8-------
No more manually splitting up the DLEs.
:)
