>How would I direct Amanda to make a backup on a disk on the system?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you want to do your backups
but leave them on disk instead of writing to tape? If so, there are a
couple of possibilities. One is to just not mount a tape and let Amanda
leave things in the holding disk. There are some issues with this, such
as having to set the "reserve" parameter so it will do full backups and
I'm not sure it will bump to anything other than a level 1.
You could also get the amanda-242-tapeio branch from CVS (see the FAQ
for details). It is under development but some people are using it.
There is support for alternate output devices, one of which ("file")
uses a disk directory as a pseudo tape.
