sounds good, I will try that asap!

on Mon-Thu,  in your cronjob
   amdump configname   node1  node2 node4
or
  amdump confignamenode1  node2   node3   DLE2  DLE3  node4

and only on Friday can you do a simple
 amdump configname
with no nodes or DLEs after it.

If anybody has a better idea, than let this serve as  “BUMP”  for the question.

additional q here:

customer wants two DLEs in the config only dumped on friday.

I know how to only INCLUDE DLEs with "amdump config host1 host2" or so.
But I am unsure if there is the possibility to EXCLUDE some DLEs.

reading manpage amanda-match now.

I think of a bigger cronjob skipping these 2 DLEs from mon-thu and
including them on friday.

Anyone with experience?
Is it possible?

thanks, Stefan
