I have set up an alternate amanda.conf to run with two tape drives
instead of the one that I currently have. I am wondering whether there
is some way to rerun an incremental backup if I run it and something in
my new configuration is out of whack. Since there is stateful data
involved which presumably would not be available after the backup ran,
is there a way to get it back so that problem could be corrected and the
backup rerun?
