DESCRIPTION

This component configures amanda server, the "Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver".

FILES

This component generates the following files:

  • /etc/amanda/backupname/amanda.conf
  • /etc/amanda/backupname/disklist

Furthermore, when using virtual tapes (tpchanger='chg-disk') it creates (only if these files do not exist previously):

  • /etc/amanda/backupname/tapelist
  • tapedev_dir/slotXX
  • symbolic to the first slot

It also labels the virtual tapes (this is very dangerous cause labelling the tapes destroy the content, have this into account if you already have data in the tapedev directory)
