Does anyone know if amanda backs up using defs and how I can do incremental
backups. Right now I can only get amanda to do regurlar full dumps.
Can anyone help please?
Yes, Amanda uses "defs" (if you mean that to be abbreviation of "definitions"
and its broader variants like parameters etc.)
What have you set as parameters now?
Parameters that have influence on the schedule:
- dumpcycle
- runspercycle
- record (in the dumptype of some DLE)
Amanda will try to perform one full backup in one dumpcycle.
The other runs in a dumpcycle will be incrementals.
Did you ever read the wiki pages like:
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Quick_start
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Dumpcycle
and even:
http://wiki.zmanda.com/man/amanda.conf.5.html
(which is also available as "man amanda.conf" on your host)
