Hi, you are right, there was no tape inserted just to test the holding disk confiugration. The capacity of the directories is b3sn30:/etc 7 mb b3sn16:/home/b3sn16 670 mb b3sn16:/home2/b3sn16 800 mb b3sn30:/disk18/b3sn30 10 mb b3sn20:/etc 3 mb b3sn30:/disk21/b3sn30 1 mb Amanda makes a level 1 dump of b3sn30:/etc (14 kb) and tried a level 0 dump of b3sn16:/home/b3sn16 (670 mb). I think it should be feasible to dump these backups to the holding disk. I'm a little bit confused, I thought Amanda will first dump the smallest backups and the bigger corresponding to the dumporder in amanda.conf. Markus
