Does anyone here use AIT2 tapes, a.k.a. SDX-50C, for Amanda backup?
What tape length are you using?
This is the tapetype entry we use in our amanda.conf:
# christian found this definition on the internet
# @ http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/backups_amanda.html
define tapetype SDX2-50C {
comment "AIT2"
length 50000 mbytes
filemark 3120 kbytes
speed 5371 kps
}
Seems to work. Note that we till now don't use the full size of the
tapes. As dump-type, we use the pre-defined comp-root from amanda.conf:
define dumptype comp-root {
comment "Root partitions with compression"
options compress-fast, index
priority low
}
So that we use software compression.
Cheers, Christian
