Because it's a patch that's been floating around for 2+ years and isn't being accepted into the mainline code for reasons unknown. Support for amanda is really only done by like 2 people, and applying this patch would make it just John, and there are many things John doesn't know or can't do. The things about backups is that they aren't a place to play games. I do have a test backup system, but it's focused on software that does recognize EOT and deal with it appropriately... -- Joe Rhett senior geek meer.net
