Why? One of the major features of Amanda is that it does the scheduling for you, and performs several types of optimization. Do you have a specific reason for forcing it into doing things in a rigid manner? >Is there a way to append incremental backups everyday? Do you mean append several days worth of incremental backups to a single tape? Not currently (there are technical reasons you **never** want to append to tape), but you could let the files accumulate in your holding disk and then just amflush them once in a while. However, that puts you at the mercy of the holding disk -- if it dies, your backups go along with it. A similiar thing could be said for a single tape with lots of images. That's another good reason to use just one tape per day. It spreads out the potential for a problem. >Julien John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
