Knut,
Unless you patch amcheck for a regexp parameter (or similar), I can
offer two nasty work arounds:
1) Cron job for amcheck:
amcheck ... (no -m or -M)|grep -v ...|mail
2) Put the laptops into a different configuration. The developers
should be able to tell you how to put two configs on one tape. If not
I'd use a non existent tape device (not /dev/null!) and have the
desktop configuration back up that holding disk for the laptops.
Using two configurations gives you an even tape usage for the desktop
machines, because missing laptops don't induce "spikes" into the total
backup size. (And you can run the laptop config at a different time,
e. g. during lunch time).
HTH,
Johannes Nie�
