Hi all,
I'm going to be setting up a new Amanda config with tapes going offsite.
We're going to be using 30 tapes or so. As the tapes leave straight away
after being written we want to keep copies of the data written to them
on disk for (say) 7 days.
I've looked into using RAIT to do this but wouldn't I then need enough
diskspace to hold all the data on all the tapes?
It strikes me that a good way to do this would be to allocate 7 tapes
worth of space to the holding disk and have Amanda delete the older data
when it needs to as Amanda can already restore from the holding disk.
Is that possible? (because I can't see how from reading the man pages).
Thanks,
Peter.
PS. Probably won't be able to respond until Monday!
