I need to backup data to an HP autoloader, it needs to be *full* backups each time so using Amanda doesn’t make sense.
Can someone point me to what utilities to use to access the autoloader, I would rather read up on this myself as my knowledge here is very weak. I am moving this unit from a windows environment running Backup Exec. I know all of those features won’t be available but I was hoping to control in some predictable manner what tapes are used in what order to effectively partition the loader.
i would still use amanda for this - that was she can look after the tape order etc and she can control mtx to use the robot.
in the amanda.conf just have the number of tapes set to 1 so that she knows each night has to be a complete level0 or in your disk list state level0 every time.
