Hi,

I have a running Amanda server which is quite happily backing up several gigs of data on several machines (not a huge setup by any measure). I was wondering if there are any special provisions that I need, or disklist entries, to back up the Amanda server.

I'd like to keep a backup of my index files, and the whole amanda folder. What's the best way to go about this?

One thought I had was to tar up a copy of the folder after every run of Amanda and drop that in a location that is going to be backed up after the next run. Is this sensible, or should I just add the amanda folder to the disklist?

Gaby
