I usually leave the disk device in the DLE and put its mountpoint as a comment at the end of the line. I guess since I'm a hardware guy I'm more concerned with remembering which device (or meta-device) the backups are from, so if the box goes kaboom, I know immediately what was mounted where. It's just how I think of my systems, and I'm glad AMANDA is flexible and smart enough to figure out what I mean. ;) > monty /var/lib/mysql/.backup comp-user-tar 0 I will agree that this is nice and tidy, though. Thanks for explaining it so well Paul! Eric
