Backup directory for PICA
=========================

$Id: README,v 1.2 2001/12/29 01:00:14 cvs Exp $

Miguel Armas <kuko@ulpgc.es>

This directory contains scripts, config files and notes to backup servers
using Amanda

Introduction
============

This module generates a client/server configuration of Amanda. It uses two
hostgroups:

- bckservers: The tape server
- bckclients: The clients we want to backup

The clients will be configured to only allow connections from the tape
server.

The backup will be configured to do full backups on fridays. On thursday the
system will check if everything is OK for friday's backup.

If this configuration suits your needs, you will only need to label the
tapes...

Installation
============

To install the Backup service ypou first have to set all needed variables
(see sample etc/hosts.conf). These variables are:

- amcfg: The amanda configuration name. Amanda uses this name to be refer to
  a backup configuration. You can have many backup configurations in the
  same server as long as this name is different
- amorg: Organization name. Amanda will put this in the subject of any email
  report it sends. Put something to quickly identify this configuration
- ammailto: email address where amanda will send backup reports
- amtapecycle: Number of tapes we have for rotation
- amsrvip & amsrvfqdn: IP and full name of the tape server. To setup the
  access restrictions
- amdisklist: disklist file to use, relative to the Backup dir in picalib.
  This variable exists because you probably want different disklist files
  for each backup group
