Hi,
I have a few questions regarding testing with a new Amanda install.
1). How can I re-use a tape to write multiple dump within a day for
testing purposes?
cat tapelist
20071004092251 EGV003 reuse
20071003173354 EGV002 reuse
20071003 EGV004 reuse
Seems that everytime I run a backup Amanda expects a new tape for
another one.
Standard behaviour is to use a new tape for each run. There might be a way
to have a tape used for multiple runs but I'm not sure how to configure
for that.
2). I installed mtx on the system and using the
tpchanger "chg-mtx" # the tape-changer glue script
in Amanda.conf.
How does Amanda know to use mtx when a tape becomes full during a
backup?
At the moment I don't believe Amanda has a way to span backups across
multiple tapes, so when a tape is full the backup terminates.
3). Is there anyway to tell Amanda to use a backup window once amdump is
called from cron?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'window' in this context. 8-)
