Just so. Given your time constraints, it might even make the
difference between a good backup and a less-dependable one; if
the retries push the amdump run into the next work day, some
users' files might get backed up while they're being modified --
always a bad idea.

Hmmm, is that a RAID array with three physical drives? Or one
built out of MFM drives (i.e. paleozoic technology)? :-)

The animal that coils in a circle is the serpent; that's why so
many cults and myths of the serpent exist, because it's hard to
represent the return of the sun by the coiling of a hippopotamus.
