I asked about this the other day and it transpired that I didn't have record yes in my dumptype, so that explained that, or so I thought. However, I now do have record yes in my global dumptype but still level 1 dumps are of the full filesystems. amadmin TIZ find no gives me this list of backups

My tape is big enough to hold all of the filesystems (currently in disklist - I do want to add more) at level 0 so it can't have been a size issue. And is it possible for me to test this by doing more than one backup run in a day - isn't there an issue with amanda only recording certain things by date and not by time. If I had 'index no' in my dumptype would I get around that ? Regards, Niall O Broin
