Is this sensible, or should I just add the amanda folder GV> to the disklist? There is a project called "ADR - Amanda Disaster Recovery" which was once started to provide all the necessary infos one needs to rebuild the AMANDA-server quickly (indexes and stuff). This project fell asleep long ago, it never developed more than one small shell-script ... http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/adr/adr/adr_backup.sh I once modified and extended a script called frankenbackup.sh to build up a first draft. This script is able to pack several infos into a time-stamped archive which you can then mail/rsync/ftp/scp/whatever. Currently the projectpages of ADR don't work very well, I plan to do some work on this soon, as I will take over maintenance of ADR soon (the current maintainer plans to hand things over to me). Please see the mentioned script and let me know your thoughts. -- best regards, Stefan Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
