Am I right in remembering that amanda has the ability not to start the backup of a particular machine until a given time? Could this mechanism be usurped to force a particular backup to be taped last? Another possibility would be to add to the priority mechanism. I guess this is really one for the hackers, so I hope they read this list too. It sounds fairly simple - but so does time travel :-) Chris Ritson (Computer Officer) Rm 618, Claremont Bridge, EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] School of Computing Science, PHONE: +44 191 222 8175 University of Newcastle, FAX : +44 191 222 8232 Newcastle on Tyne, UK NE1 7RU. http://www.cs.ncl.ac.uk/~c.r.ritson/
