Full Discussion: Compress files with output to tape
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Compress files with output to tape Post 6187 by sinardy on Thursday 30th of August 2001 11:08:40 PM
Old 08-31-2001
I forget to tell you that, I am tuning my backup script, our previous script took 8 hours to backup 24 files (total is about 10 GB), the script is something like...

tar cv file1 > log.log
tar uv file2 >> log.log
tar uf file3 >> log.log
tar uf file4 >> log.log
..
..

Note: file1 (1.998 GB), file2 (580 MB)

And one of our partition that need to backup is 45% so that I try not to use our HD as our compressed file buffer before backup to tape.

Thank you,
Sinardy

amrmtape

AMRMTAPE(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       AMRMTAPE(8)

NAME

       amrmtape - remove a tape from the Amanda database

SYNOPSIS

       amrmtape [ -n ] [ -v ] [ -q ] [ -d ] config label

DESCRIPTION

       Amrmtape  invalidates  the contents of an existing backup tape in the configuration database.  This is meant as a recovery mechanism when a
       good backup is damaged either by faulty hardware or user error, e.g. the tape is eaten by the drive or is overwritten.

       See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.

OPTIONS

       -n     Generate new tapelist and database files with label removed, but leave them in /tmp and do not update the original copies.

       -v     List backups of hosts and disks that are being discarded.  Enabled by default.

       -q     Opposite of -v.

       -d     Run in debugging mode so all executed commands are shown.

EXAMPLE

       Remove tape labeled DAILY034 from the DailySet1 configuration.

	      # amrmtape DailySet1 DAILY034
