Andreas, I myself have been working to this end off & on for a while now. It just so happens that this week, I am attempting to finalize my backups to Disk.
I suppose you could do the holding-disk trick the other guy mentioned. But if you want to use a large disk to mimic several tapes, thus allowing you to do the amrestore thingy from the clients, some other people have created some tutorials/examples of how they've done it. I recommend looking all these over. First do a search for a message from a guy "Clinton Hogge" in the amanda-users archive. He has a good e-mail RE this. Second, a guy "Alex Muc" also wrote a tutorial, do a search in the amanda-users archive in Yahoo for that one too. I tried finding these files myself in my archives, but all I can locate is the printed version. If I come across them again later, I'll e-mail them to you. Hopefully the authors wouldn't care.

Hello everyone, I've got one Question. Is it possible to use amanda without tapes? I don't use a tape for Backup! I've got only one big Harddrive, where i could store the huge backup files. How can I configure amanda without the use of tapes, so that I could backup my files on a harddrive. Amanda shall backup all my files in one directory. thx for your response Andreas
