based on your current configuration stated above: Make as many directories as you desire inside "/usr/local/amanda/backup" then use a softlink named data to point to the directory that is the next "tape"... I created 10 dirs named "slot_00, slot_01...slot_09" then I rotate the softlink ... Or you could alternatively load the slot into the softlink... either way... :))) i.e. ln -s slot_00 data This is really cool stuff... --
