I'll have to figure that out. I'm having trouble realizing how Amanda behaves. So far it doesn't look like I can reasonably predict when each file gets backed up. It seems it can't do a full backup, and then small incrementals that include only changed files. > By "GNU" do you mean "covered under the terms of the Gnu Public > License"?

I subscribe to the Richard Stallman FSF.org philosophies, and prefer software that is no only free of charge, but also open source and with freedom to alter. I don't necessarily need those features in this case, but I try to support the movement whenever practical. This is what attracts me to Amanda.
