Hi all,
We are currently setting up 2 amanda backup servers which require 3 different
configs on each server.
I think these are possible, but I would like the list to clarify them:
Server 1:
Config 1 - Ad-hoc backup which would be called by hand maybe once a month or
longer and needs to be a full backup with one tape that gets overwritten each
time. I was thinking:
dumpcycle 1 day
runspercycle 1 day
tapecycle 1 tape
Config 2 - Same as above, but different partitions etc. These two will
probably be combined into the same amanda config. These are both for "by
hand" full cold backups of oracle databases etc.
Config 3 - Weekly backup. Every 5 days there is a full backup, with possibly
only one tape that gets overwritten each time. I would prefer to do a 1 month
dump cycle with 4 - 6 tapes (ie one a week)being used for a full weekly
backup (it will be full, as the partitions will have completely changed over
the week).
Server 2:
Config 1 & 2 - Same as Config 1 & 2 of Server 1.
Config 3 - A full daily backup with however many tapes we decide for tape
history.
With both server's, oracle backups are being done, the 3 configs being
different parts of the oracle install. The backup folders will change each
day, so even if we use incremental backups etc. (letting amanda handle it
all) they will be like a full backup due to the complete change of files.
Does any of this make sense?
Thanks,
Gavin.
