I'm fairly new to Amanda, having set up hardware configurations, some
small test backups (including some samba mounts), and generally getting
things ready for a full transfer over to Amanda (getting away from a bunch
of custom-made scripts kludged together 4 or so years ago). Hardware is
configured and working, backups work, only thing remaining is to get the
actual backup scheduling hammered out. Here's what I would like to do:
Groups: A, B, C
Schedule: Mon - Grp. A, Tues - Grp. B, Wed - Grp. C, Thurs - Grp. A, Fri -
Grp. B, Sat - Grp. C
So far, it looks like I need to create 3 different configurations with
their appropriate disklists, and their own tapelists (let's call the
configs QSI1, QSI2, and QSI3). It would appear when QSI1 runs, that QSI2
doesn't know what tape QSI1 used (as it keeps it's own history in the QSI1
file path). Now, amanda.conf has entries for 'infofile', 'indexdir', etc.
If I point all 3 configs to one directory for common files, could I then
'share' the tape tracking and info between them? Would having 3 different
'tapelist' files bring up conflicts with tracking?
If anyone else has done something like this or has suggestions on other
ways I could accomplish what I'd like to do, I'd greatly appreciate
hearing. Thanks for your time!
