How can I capture a one-time full backup of a server using AMANDA?
- by Daemon
Suppose I have a preconfigured AMANDA server running automated network backups of directories specified in my disklists file. Normally, AMANDA will backup targets disks to /dumps/amanda.
Is there any single command or method to perform a manual, one-time, full backup dump to another destination drive?
I ask since I'm investigating the possibility of introducing rotating external hard-drive backups for offsite storage and I want to leverage our existing backup strategies wherever possible. Ideally, a full backup restore should be achievable from only any one of these offsite backup discs.
