This has been discussed *many* times, so you'll want to look through the mailing list archives to get the full discussion. The short version is to ask you *why* you want to do it this way? The easiest and most efficient way to use amanda is to let it schedule the backups. If you *really* need to segregate the backups like that, the archives will show you how. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
