the spindel numer option for Disklist is your friend in this case.
it tells amanda these are all different disks and can therefor be backuped in parallel

Hi,
Though I'm still working on the AIX client problem, I've also set up my 120 windows clients and began some tests (here, we're on holidays, except for the BOFHs like me).
I've added all the needed config in the disklist and amandapass files and it's working.
But I'm surprised to see that this backups aren't made in parallel : Though I've specified inparalell = 4, the samba backups are made in a queue.
I imagine this comes from the fact that in disklist, every samba-related line begins with the same hostname (that is the hostname of the backup server).
Aren't there a way to paralellized those samba backups ?
