You can control the maximum numer of dumpers using 'inparallel' in amanda.conf. I doubt amanda is eating up your memory. I have never used it on RH 7.1 but I have run it on 7.0 and 7.2 with no problems not related to getting the tape drive and changer to work. -- -- Stephen Carville UNIX and Network Administrator DPSI (formerly Ace USA Flood Services) 310-342-3602 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
