If this is what you want to do, just don't put a tape in on Mon-Fri. Then do your amflush(es) on Friday. Note that you'll need to set your reserve to a low number to have room for full backups and you'll need enough holding space. Also keep in mind that if that disk crashes on Thursday night/Friday morning, you've lost a week's worth of backups... -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
