Amanda Toys is a collection of scripts and utilities that I have written in order to help me administer Amanda backup servers.
They are primarily geared towards my workflow when working with hot-swap eSATA drives as "tapes".
Get amanda-toys by cloning the repository:
$ git clone git://github.com/krishardy/amanda-toys.git
Then add the path to your local repository to your PATH, or reference the scripts using absolute paths.
To initalize the toys (which creates a clean mount-tapes script for you):
$ cd amanda-toys $ ./init
The scripts have some bit of configuration in them. Until I merge the configuration, open each file and look at the variable assignments in the top few lines.
If you like Amanda Toys, and would like to help out or send me thanks, feel free. My e-mail address is kris at rhs dot com.
