43
44# Some tape changers require tapedev to be defined; others will use
45# their own tape device selection mechanism. Some use a separate tape
46# changer device (changerdev), others will simply ignore this
47# parameter. Some rely on a configuration file (changerfile) to
48# obtain more information about tape devices, number of slots, etc;
49# others just need to store some data in files, whose names will start

70# Specify holding disks. These are used as a temporary staging area for
71# dumps before they are written to tape and are recommended for most sites.
72# The advantages include: tape drive is more likely to operate in streaming
73# mode (which reduces tape and drive wear, reduces total dump time); multiple
74# dumps can be done in parallel (which can dramatically reduce total dump time.
75# The main disadvantage is that dumps on the holding disk need to be flushed
76# (with amflush) to tape after an operating system crash or a tape failure.
77# If no holding disks are specified then all dumps will be written directly
78# to tape. If a dump is too big to fit on the holding disk than it will be
79# written directly to tape. If more than one holding disk is specified then
80# they will all be used round-robin.

108# If amanda cannot find a tape on which to store backups, it will run
109# as many backups as it can to the holding disks. In order to save
110# space for unattended backups, by default, amanda will only perform
111# incremental backups in this case, i.e., it will reserve 100% of the
112# holding disk space for the so-called degraded mode backups.
113# However, if you specify a different value for the `reserve'
114# parameter, amanda will not degrade backups if they will fit in the
115# non-reserved portion of the holding disk.
116
117# reserve 30 # percent
118
119
120# This means save at least 30% of the holding disk space for degraded

122
123# Amanda needs a few Mb of diskspace for the log and debug files,
124# as well as a database. This stuff can grow large, so the conf directory
125# isn't usually appropriate. Some sites use /usr/local/var and some /usr/adm.
126# Create an amanda directory under there. You need a separate infofile and
127# logdir for each configuration, so create subdirectories for each conf and
128# put the files there. Specify the locations below.
129
130# Note that, although the keyword below is infofile, it is only so for

140# tapetypes
141
142# Define the type of tape you use here, and use it in "tapetype"
143# above. Some typical types of tapes are included here. The tapetype
144# tells amanda how many MB will fit on the tape, how big the filemarks
145# are, and how fast the tape device is.
146
147# A filemark is the amount of wasted space every time a tape section
148# ends. If you run `make tapetype' in tape-src, you'll get a program
149# that generates tapetype entries, but it is slow as hell, use it only
150# if you really must and, if you do, make sure you post the data to
151# the amanda mailing list, so that others can use what you found out
152# by searching the archives.
153
154# For completeness Amanda should calculate the inter-record gaps too,
155# but it doesn't. For EXABYTE and DAT tapes this is ok. Anyone using
156# 9 tracks for amanda and need IRG calculations? Drop me a note if
157# so.

abb92a59 162
163# if you want the label to go to a printer other than the default

245# dumptypes
246#
247# These are referred to by the disklist file. The dumptype specifies
248# certain parameters for dumping including:
249# auth - authentication scheme to use between server and client.
250# Valid values are "bsd" and "krb4". Default: [auth bsd]
251# comment - just a comment string
252# comprate - set default compression rate. Should be followed by one or
253# two numbers, optionally separated by a comma. The 1st is
254# the full compression rate; the 2nd is the incremental rate.
255# If the second is omitted, it is assumed equal to the first.
256# The numbers represent the amount of the original file the
257# compressed file is expected to take up.
258# Default: [comprate 0.50, 0.50]
259# compress - specify compression of the backed up data. Valid values are:
260# "none" - don't compress the dump output.
261# "client best" - compress on the client using the best (and
262# probably slowest) algorithm.
263# "client fast" - compress on the client using fast algorithm.
264# "server best" - compress on the tape host using the best (and
265# probably slowest) algorithm.
266# "server fast" - compress on the tape host using a fast
267# algorithm. This may be useful when a fast
268# tape host is backing up slow clients.
269# Default: [compress client fast]
270# dumpcycle - set the number of days in the dump cycle, ie, set how often a
271# full dump should be performed. Default: from DUMPCYCLE above
272# exclude - specify files and directories to be excluded from the dump.
273# Useful with gnutar only; silently ignored by dump and samba.
274# Valid values are:
275# "pattern" - a shell glob pattern defining which files
276# to exclude.
277# gnutar gets --exclude="pattern"
278# list "filename" - a file (on the client!) containing patterns
279# re's (1 per line) defining which files to
280# exclude.
281# gnutar gets --exclude-from="filename"
282# Note that the `full pathname' of a file within its
283# filesystem starts with `./', because of the way amanda runs
284# gnutar: `tar -C $mountpoint -cf - --lots-of-options .' (note
285# the final dot!) Thus, if you're backing up `/usr' with a
286# diskfile entry like ``host /usr gnutar-root', but you don't
287# want to backup /usr/tmp, your exclude list should contain
288# the pattern `./tmp', as this is relative to the `/usr' above.
289# Please refer to the man-page of gnutar for more information.
290# Default: include all files
291# holdingdisk - should the holding disk be used for this dump. Useful for
292# dumping the holding disk itself. Default: [holdingdisk yes]
293# ignore - do not back this filesystem up. Useful for sharing a single
294# disklist in several configurations.
295# index - keep an index of the files backed up. Default: [index no]
296# kencrypt - encrypt the data stream between the client and server.
297# Default: [kencrypt no]
298# maxdumps - max number of concurrent dumps to run on the client.
299# Default: [maxdumps 1]
300# priority - priority level of the dump. Valid levels are "low", "medium"
301# or "high". These are really only used when Amanda has no
302# tape to write to because of some error. In that "degraded
303# mode", as many incrementals as will fit on the holding disk
304# are done, higher priority first, to insure the important
305# disks are at least dumped. Default: [priority medium]
306# program - specify the dump system to use. Valid values are "DUMP" and
307# "GNUTAR". Default: [program "DUMP"].
308# record - record the dump in /etc/dumpdates. Default: [record yes]
309# skip-full - skip the disk when a level 0 is due, to allow full backups
310# outside Amanda, eg when the machine is in single-user mode.
311# skip-incr - skip the disk when the level 0 is NOT due. This is used in
312# archive configurations, where only full dumps are done and
313# the tapes saved.
314# starttime - delay the start of the dump? Default: no delay
315# strategy - set the dump strategy. Valid strategies are currently:
316# "standard" - the standard one.
317# "nofull" - do level 1 dumps every time. This can be used,
318# for example, for small root filesystems that
319# only change slightly relative to a site-wide
320# prototype. Amanda then backs up just the
321# changes.
322# "noinc" - do level 0 dumps every time.
323# Unfortunately, this is not currently
324# implemented. Use `dumpcycle 0'
325# instead.
326# "skip" - skip all dumps. Useful for sharing a single
327# disklist in several configurations.
328# Default: [strategy standard]
329#
330# Note that you may specify previously defined dumptypes as a shorthand way
331# of defining parameters.
