My own preference is to configure the system with separate drives for holding disk. There is no reason for them to be raid. With a separate spindle, they will be fast. If they are on a separate controller, even faster. I happen to have my tape drive, my holding disks, and my network all on separate controllers/buses, so there is virtually no contention. I get the maximum throughput on my tape and on my holding disks. All Ultra320 LVD SCSI on a Sun Enterprise server. When amanda is not running I can use the holding disk space for other maintenance tasks, recoveries, etc. --- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology & Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- Erdös 4

Re: can amanda trigger a script?
Sorry if my explanation was not clear. The script is on client. What I want is whenever server start triggering amdump, it will "ask" client to run the script first. Client will do the export thing not server. Once finished, amdump will continue immediately. Can Amanda do that?

Why not just do: 0 3 * * * backupdb.sh && amdump DailySet1 or something similar?
