Check man amanda.conf for several options dealing with holding disks.
Designate an area (or several areas) that can be used for temporary storage
of a large amount of data, for now I pretend that is /opt/foo
In your holding disk add lines like :
holdingdisk Area_One {
comment possibly first of several holding disks
directory /opt/foo
use -1 GB # let amanda use all but 1GB (adjust for your
needs)
chunksize 1 GB # may not be needed
}
The above can be repeated with different values for multiple areas.
In other parts of amanda.conf set some of the global holding disk properties.
reserve 30 # do not leave at default 100 percent
autoflush on # to automatically flush anything left behind
holdingdisk yes # to use the holding disk areas (this is the default)
