Hi everyone,
I need a little help to tune a backup plan with Amanda.
In my company we were used, before Amanda, to have this plan for our
main servers (each one with a dedicated tape device):
- a full backup was made every day from monday to friday but
1) from monday to thursday tapes were always the same, that is, every
week they were overwritten
2) on friday we had 4 tapes to save a full-backup per week for one
month. After 4 weeks we selected the oldest tape, put it in a safe place
(against fire) and took a new one for the backup job.
We kept 1 tape per month for 6 months and then one every 3 or 6 months.
Now I'd like to maintain the same plan with Amanda and my problem is
with Friday tapes that I want to "extract" and put away.
I put a tapecycle of 4 tapes on Friday configuration but:
- How can I maintain the possibility of restore data from the extracted
tapes? Changing labels every time?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
greetings
Lucia
