Thank you all for the time to comment. Jean-Louis' suggestion looks enticing. Just one remark: as someone remarked in this thread, what happens the very first time amdump run with `strategy nofull'? The backup content is based on what since there is no full? What about amvault though? Is this still in the works? thanks! jf -- <° >< Jean-François Malouin McConnell Brain Imaging Centre Systems/Network Administrator Montréal Neurological Institute 3801 Rue University, Suite WB219 Montréal, Québec, H3A 2B4 Phone: 514-398-8924 Fax: 514-398-8948
