If your backups always fit on one tape (or always 2, or 3..) then you can predict it. Amanda works its way up from the bottom of the tapelist using the ones marked 'reuse'. If some days you use one tape, and other days use two, then you can't exactly know what tapes you will need next Sunday. Amcheck always tells you the next tape to be used, and your daily report will too (athough it will tell you the next 'runtapes' tapes, even though you may not actually use that many on the next run. What are you trying to do, preload daily magazines? Frank -- Frank Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sr. Systems Administrator Voice: 512-374-4673 Hoover's Online Fax: 512-374-4501
