When I'm experimenting with amanda after I create the test configuration, before the first amdump run, I copy or tar the entire configuration. Then I write a little shell script so that after I've run a few test dumps, I can delete the entire config and restore it to the original state from the copy or tarball. Jon -- Jon H.

Create a DLE that would backup the entire directory.

You can use "amadmin force [host] [disk]" to force a level 0 dump. You can use "amadmin force-bump [host] [disk]" to force a bump to the next level. Run them from crontab to automate the process.
