I don't see why not. I don't use MC anymore so I don't know if it keeps
permissions but if your amanda run went cleanly that's the only thing
that'd be sensitive and that can be fixed by chmod.
As long as you're confident the data is there.

Greetings;
I have added a 1.0 TB Maxtor drive to the system, and copied, using mc,
everything that was on the 400GB deathstar I had been using for my
virtual tapes to this new drive.
The I edited /etc/fstab to reflect the LABEL name of the new disk in the
line that mounts /amandatapes in that file.
Then I did 'umount /amandatapes', checked with df to see that it was
gone, and issued a 'mount /amandatapes', checked with df and the new
drive was there as /amandatapes.
And as the user amanda, 'amcheck Daily' is happy as a clam.
I have not rebooted yet, don't see why I'd need to, but can anyone come
up with a good reason why after checking tonight's run of amanda, that I
can't repartition that 400GB deathstar (which is still breathing just
fine) and install a ubuntu-9.04 preview just for grins? Reason? /me
tired of being fedoras lab test rat. /me tired of not being able to
play the videos my kids send me. Yes, I like to bleed, and play the
canary bit in a coal mine play, but when I break something, I want it to
be something _I_ did that broke it.
Comments?
