The dumptype specifies # certain "options" for dumping including: # index - keep an index of the files backed up # compress-fast - (default) compress on the client using fast algorithm # compress-best - compress using the best (and slowww) algorithm # no-compress - don't compress the dump output # srvcompress - Compress dumps on the tape host instead of client # machines. This may be useful when a fast tape host # is backing up slow clients. # record - (default) record the dump in /etc/dumpdates # no-record - don't record the dump, for testing # no-hold - don't go to the holding disk, good for dumping # the holding disk partition itself. # skip-full - Skip the disk when a level 0 is due, to allow # full backups outside Amanda, eg when the machine # is in single-user mode. # skip-incr - Skip the disk when the level 0 is NOT due. This # is used in archive configurations, where only full # dumps are done and the tapes saved. # no-full - Do a level 1 every night. This can be used, for # example, for small root filesystems that only change # slightly relative to a site-wide prototype. Amanda # then backs up just the changes. # # Also, the dumptype specifies the priority level, where "low", "medium" and # "high" are the allowed levels. These are only really used when Amanda has # no tape to write to because of some error. In that "degraded mode", as # many incrementals as will fit on the holding disk are done, higher priority # first, to insure the important disks are dumped first. define dumptype always-full { comment "Full dump of this filesystem always" options no-compress priority high dumpcycle 0 maxcycle 0 } define dumptype comp-user-tar { program "GNUTAR" comment "partitions dumped with tar" options compress-fast, index, exclude-list "/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar" priority medium } define dumptype comp-root-tar { program "GNUTAR" comment "Root partitions with compression" options compress-fast, index, exclude-list "/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar" priority low } define dumptype user-tar { program "GNUTAR" comment "partitions dumped with tar" options no-compress, index, exclude-list "/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar" priority medium } define dumptype high-tar { program "GNUTAR" comment "partitions dumped with tar" options no-compress, index, exclude-list "/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar" priority high } define dumptype root-tar { program "GNUTAR" comment "Root partitions dumped with tar" options no-compress, index, exclude-list "/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar" priority low } define dumptype comp-user { comment "Non-root partitions on reasonably fast machines" options compress-fast priority medium } define dumptype nocomp-user { comment "Non-root partitions on slow machines" options no-compress priority medium } define dumptype holding-disk { comment "The master-host holding disk itself" options no-hold priority medium } define dumptype comp-root { comment "Root partitions with compression" options compress-fast priority low } define dumptype nocomp-root { comment "Root partitions without compression" options no-compress priority low } define dumptype comp-high { comment "very important partitions on fast machines" options compress-best priority high } define dumptype nocomp-high { comment "very important partitions on slow machines" options no-compress priority high } define dumptype nocomp-test { comment "test dump without compression, no /etc/dumpdates recording" options no-compress, no-record priority medium } define dumptype comp-test { comment "test dump with compression, no /etc/dumpdates recording" options compress-fast, no-record priority medium } define dumptype wagner-dump { program "GNUTAR" comment "Non-root partitions on reasonably fast machines" options compress-best, index priority high } define dumptype samba-dump { program "GNUTAR" comment "Remote windows client backup" options compress-fast, index priority high }
