Yes. > In other words: does amanda guarantee that if a file is modified after > a dump, it will be included in the next dump, whatever the "level" is > used ? Yes. Amanda always backs up all modified files. The question is: does she always back up all _unmodified_ files? Here the answer is: no, only when doing a level 0 backup. Level 0 means a full backup (all modified and unmodified files). Level n (n > 0) means a backup of all files that were modified since the last level n-1. Hope this helps...
