Hi Listserv,
Does anyone know how to configure amanda to take differential backups ??
I assume you mean a situation where you want to only back up the changes
from the previous day? I imagine you'd have to get Amanda to increase
the dump level every day until you wanted to do a full backup... so,
assuming full backups once a week on Sunday, you'd do a level 0 on
Sunday, a level 1 on Monday, a level 2 on Tuesday, etc. Of course, I
have no idea how you'd accomplish this short of shell script trickery,
as this is not really a recommended way of backing up your data, and
Amanda is sort of designed to prevent you from doing bad things to
yourself. ;)
