As Dustin asks for post-processing ... One thing that I would like to see would be some kind of meta-tool: I monitor some dozens of amanda-installations which are hard to track, as data volumes change and everything is in movement it is rather hard to keep the overview. I would like to have some report like "WARNING: DLE xyz is overdue for weeks now" and stuff like that. Some kind of general GREEN-ORANGE-RED-information ... For example I'd like to get informed somehow if a DLE somewhere has grown bigger than a single medium and is therefore overdue ... stuff like that. Maybe I am offtopic with my thoughts? Let me know. Thanks, Stefan
