Hi,

I have a 120 gig server that I need to back up.  I want to do /boot ; / ; and 
/var on one tape, and /home on a second.  I have chg-zd-mtx as my autoloader 
driver.

Here's the question.  If I configured my disklist file like this:

bigserver        /boot              always-full
bigserver       /                      always-full
bigserver       /var                 always-full    
bigserver       /home              always-full

When Amanda is done with /boot, /, and /var say there is only 10gig left on 
tape 1.  Will amanda automatically 'see' the lack of space and autoload a new 
tape before starting on /home?  Or should I create another config directory 
like this:

/etc/amanda/bgserver-Daily-roots
/etc/amanda/bgserver=Daily-home

If this is the right idea, I also need to know if I just copy ALL of the files 
(except disklists of course) from one directory to the other so that they 
match?  Here's a list of files that would be listed in one of the above 
pseudo-directories.  Which ones need to be copied accross to the other config 
directory?

Assume I have been only running backups on bgserver-Daily-roots.  These files 
are now already existing in that directory.
amanda.conf
mtx-changer-access    
mtx-changer-clean  
mtx-changer.conf  
mtx-changer-barcodes  
mtx-changer-slot
tapelist
tapelist.amlabel          
tapelist.yesterday
disklist     

Now say I add a 80 gig home directory to the server.  How should I configure 
Amanda to start a new tape when it gets to this new remote partition?

Thanks a million!
