With cronjobs, or as part of the amdump cronjob, could you do some pre-amdump and post-amdump activity. For example, if you install or modify amanda.conf to have a non-existant device as tapedev, that would be the equivalent of not inserting a tape. Then after amdump, you could install/modify amdanda.conf with the correct tapedev and do the amflush. (or a check for total amount of data in the holding disk to determine if you want to amflush yet) -- Jon H.
