But, when we purchased the backup server I agreed to follow my boss'
solution (it's always him you known ;-p) to buy that cheaper server with
maximum 1,5TB RAID5 (6*300GB) instead of that nice DAS with up to 3,9TB
RAID5. So, to save space I created one big volume containing both the OS
and the data.
What type of drives, and what RAID card? What OS/distro are we talking,
and what SCSI card for the tape drive?
In a configuration where amanda only backup local (SCSI) drives, are there
any benefits from using a holding disk?
Not that I can think of. And especially with an LTO3 drive, it's really
only going to hurt you.
