What do you mean by its naming convention? >I'd like to have it use something like: > >WINS_NAME_DIRECTORY.tar.gz Why? (just curious) >... is it possible to get amanda to make >tar.gz's instead of its own format? ... No. Amanda needs the 32 KByte header on each file to know how the rest of the file is formatted. However, assuming you told Amanda to use GNU tar and told it to compress with gzip, the remainder of the file after the first 32 KBytes is a .tar.gz. You can easily get the file back, minus the header, with amrestore or dd/amdd. John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
