Ok, So this brings up 2 questions:
1. Since I want to be able to implement this without impacting everything else I read that it was possible to call directories by modifying the disklist in the following example: "Try to redefine your disklist as in the following example: fatboy /bigmama_BIGDIR /bigmama { # a big subdirectory comp-user-tar include "./bigdir" } fatboy /bigmama_FILES01 /bigmama { # all files beginning with... nocomp-user-tar include "./file[01]*" } fatboy /bigmama_FILES23 /bigmama { nocomp-user-tar include "./file[23]*" } ... fatboy /bigmama_REST /bigmama { # Catch-all nocomp-user-tar exclude "./file[0-9]*" exclude append "./bigdir" } (example taken from a mail by Paul Bijnens on the AMANDA-users-list)" If I'm correct I can break this one file system up into multiple DLE's? I'll just exclude or include what I need... The other question is will Amanda automatically prompt for a tape change or will I have to define this (I'm only using one tape device)? Thanks, James
