Re: Backup all drives on server

Hi,
There's no such option. One possible solution, though, is to
automatically generate your disklist based on manipulating the output of
'df' or 'mount' or the like.
I miss such a function too. I allready had the case that a new filesystem was
added to a client, and the one who did, forgot to tell me. So it wasn`t
backuped for some time, what could have been end in a terrible problem. But it
was luck that I don`t had to do restores from that filesystem.
You could even use such manipulations to *check for* newly-added
filesystems, and send an email (rather than adding them directly).
Maybe this could be a usefull feature for amanda. I think there could be a
configuration option inside the servers amanda.conf (check_new_disks=yes/no
for all clients) and also in amanda-client.conf on the client-side.
This option could compare the mounted disks with the entries out of the
disklist. Later the daily report could have some lines on the end, where all
that new drives are shown.
Also in this nexus amcheck could have a additional option that does this job
on all clients.
Then this could be a usefull option for everyone. You can check every run on
all clients via server-config, run it on special clients via client-config.
And for everybody who doesn`t like that both ways, can run manually.
What do you all think about it? I just cross-post this to amanda-hackers, too.
Regards
Marc
