That reminds me...
Is it possible to use amanda to do backups without having a "work" disk?
At one point, I was fiddling with using it to manage backups on my home
system, but I just want it to manage the dumps. I don't need it to
parallelize anything or buffer anything (nor do I have the free disk space
to allow it to).
Also, is it possible for amanda to put multiple days' backups on the same
tape? I've got a 2.3Gb tape drive (Exabyte), but I don't have THAT much
stuff to backup. Or does it really need one tape per backup run?
Or am I better off just cobbling together my own scripts to automate it?
Or should I RTFM better/more thoroughly? :-)
thanx,
