Actually, I like this idea a lot.
Create a script like this
amdump —no-taper
trigger synch process (or just copy to remote area)
so that the sync happens immediately after the dump is finished.
Run script earlier in the day than normal backups, allowing enough time
for it to finish.
Then, when the normal backup run is done, amanda will auto-magically
FLUSH that earlier run onto the vtape with the rest of them, and will then
delete it from the holding disk.
Or, run it immediately after LAST NIGHT’s backup run. The dump
would sit in holding all day, and become part of the NEXT night’s normal backup.
