several questions
2004-03-24 01:49:53
a) is there a way to subscribe to amanda-users in digest mode?
I was subscribed to the yahoo list in digest mode, bu to post I
must subscribe to the main list, and that results in lots of individual
traffic, so I'd like to subscribe only to the main list in digest and
drop the yahoo group..
now to the real amanda questions:
b) is there a way to only run the planner to see how it would react to
different changes to the amanda.conf file, but not doing the actual
backups?
c) Is there a way to create a file-index from the backup tape itself?
Amverify already runs the backup through a restore program (tar tf -)
but pipes that to /dev/null. is there an option (or patch) for
amverify to save that information (possibly including other stuff it
tests)?
d) I was looking into pre-post dump actions (eg to stop a database or email
delivery)
I found the tips to write a specialized tar (amgtar) script which does
this.
My question however is whether the protocol between server and client
could
handle this, or at least handle whether a pre-post function is to be
called and
its results etc.
I understand that security is an issue, which means that which scripts
are allowed to
run on each client should be controlled on that client itself, which
speaks for a
local amgtar.
Does anyone already have such a script which is flexible to support
several pre/post
dump (and pre/post estimate?) scripts as well as handles errors in such
scripts?
thanks
