My supervisor would like me to implement a tape backup solution at the office to back up our 2 unix servers. We have a DNS server and a web server. We want to put a DDS4 tape drive in the web server, and an extra hard drive as a dump drive. We will be backing up both systems to the DDS4. I have chosen to use Amanda to do this for us. With that all said, he would like to be able to put ANY tape in the drive and have it succeed, basicly ignoring the tape lables. In other words, he want's it so that there will be a backup every day, but the people who come in and don't know anything about the system will be able to just put any tape in the drive rather than having to worry about puting them in any specific order (like tape 1 monday, 2 tuesday, 3 wednesday, but not.) If this doesn't make any sense, please let me know and I will elaborate. Thanks for your help... Sincerely, Richard G.
