And the notion that I would want a backup done today when I already did that is a little perplexing, too. So... does anyone use "amadmin balance", and if so, what do you get out of it? (Yes, I realize that the man page says it summarizes the distribution of full backups. But given the above -- which is but the beginning of a "backup migration" that "balance" would report between now & the time the actual backups get started -- I confess to a bit of curiousity on this....
