I am new to Amanda and I was just wondering if anyone here has configured a
Dell powervault 132T with 2 drives and 23 slots or anything close to this.
What sort of tape drive? I've got an Overland Neo2K with 2 LTO3 drives
and 30 slots that I'm quite happily running amanda with.
When I run amtapetype I get an unknow-tapetype is the right for the
powervault? Also wondering if Amanda can backup directories or does it just
backup the whole hard drive? Can I write more than one dump to a tape? Any
config examples or pointers are appreciated, right now I only have the basics
completed like the client setup the hosts, directories, etc.
These are all FAQs to some extent. Amanda can back up directories if you
use tar for the backup tool and partitions only if you use dump. Amanda
does not append to tapes. Dig through the docs and grok dumpcycle,
runspercycle, runtapes, and tapecycle and then come on back with specific
questions.
