Hi Is there doc's for setting up ainternal and extrenal tape drives As I
have a DDS-4 drive and need to commission a second external drive to backup a
total of 80gb server and I would like to backup a minmum 300gb eventually I
was looking at LTO-3 but it is beyond my companies budget.
I read a email not long ago stating whats new for version 2.5.0 and there
something about having amanda backup two tape drives which would be ideal for
my situation when the first tape drive is full it would continue without
admin intervention to the second drive.
Please could someone point me in the right direction as my monthly backups
are nearing the full capacity of the tapes which are 20gb native DDS-4 4mm *
150mm.
One approach is to simply run 2 configs on the server -- one for each tape
drive. Any 1 client can only be in 1 config, though, so this only works
if you have multiple clients you can split into the 2 configs.
