Gene and Jon, Thanks for the quick replies. I am not at all sure why there are so many directories to be flushed - they range in age from March thru last week, and they all, but the last, apply to a time before I became sysop here. So I am not all that concerned about the ancient ones, I'd just like to flush the last one (recent) and move ahead. So it would be okay for me to tar/gzip all the other directories? If I remove them Amanda won't get mad at me? Or do I somehow need to tell Amanad "hey, those aren't so important anymore."
