As I undertand the amanda scheduling algorithm, it does a full for everything to get started and then tries to spread the fulls out over the tapecycle. So, when you hit the seventh amdump, you should have a full of every filesystem on one of tapes 2 thru 6 so tape 1 can hold partials. To list what backups are on what tapes, try: $ amadmin <config> find $ amadmin <config> info $ amoverview <config> -- -- Stephen Carville http://www.heronforge.net/~stephen/gnupgkey.txt ============================================================== Government is like burning witches: After years of burning young women failed to solve any of society's problems, the solution was to burn more young women. ==============================================================
