Reading the comments in amanda.conf was not enough info, as it seems ;) So in this case the gnutar-lists get updated, I conclude. I will try to make that point more explicit in the example/amanda.conf. It says: > record - record the dump in /etc/dumpdates. Default: [record yes] which may lead to assume it doesn�t matter for GNUtar as has happened for Steve in this case. -- best regards, Stefan Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
