Nothing built in. The common solutions are - put extra cron entries to do the shutdown and restart - start amdump via a shell script that does the shutdown before and restarts after a call to amdump - replace your dump or tar command with a shell script that analyses which file system and which pass (estimate or backup) is in use and only does the shutdown/restore for appropriate calls wrapped around the actual call to dump or tar -- Jon H.
