I am running a "DailySet" configuration five days a week as is common
with AMANDA. Now I want to set up periodic manual full backups for
archiving purposes. I don't want these to be scheduled. I just want to
throw a tape in once a month or so and get a full-backup to store
off-site. The FAQ says to set up multiple configurations to do this, but
I'm not clear on how to do this.

Does this mean having multiple amanda.conf files; one for my "DailySet"
backups and another for my "ArchiveSet" backups, along with duplicate
directory structures for each? It doesn't look like you can define more
than one configuration per "amanda.conf" file.

Is this documented somewhere that I haven't found yet? Is this a
relatively easy thing to do, or a difficult thing to do?

Thanks for any assistance.
