Thanks, Jens, for your suggestions. That tool isn't flexible at all, some proprietary Windows-software just doing its thing, without parameters or ways to make it fit ... So there is no script to edit. That's why I thought of mounting that share and running find over it, thereby setting some links or so (although I have to keep in mind that amanda doesn't follow symlinks, does it?). Or I let the script find the latest full backup-dirs and push their names into a include-list for amanda (maybe each VM in its own DLE). Stefan
