Under my /usr/local/etc/amanda I have several config directories. I also have a directory called "CommonConfFiles". I have stripped down my amanda.conf files to eliminate things like dumptypes, tapetypes, and a few others. Each is in a separate file under CommonConfFiles. Then at the end of my amanda.conf's I use includefile to bring in each file I need. It takes amand.conf from a scary 560 lines to a still imposing 100 lines. jl -- Jon H.
