Yep -- you have two options. Using version 2.4.2p2, you can just not put in a tape and amanda will perform backups to holding disk in "degraded" mode. You'll have to lower the reserve parameter in amanda.conf to make sure you get level 0s in degraded mode. Option 2 is to use 2.4.3b3 (b is for beta) and its file: driver for direct-to-disk backups. See the amanda(8) man page for more details on that one. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
