I wouldn't, as they make it easier to recover data from those backup sets. I suggest you simply remove the cron entry that runs it. If you don't have any backups in that configuration or don't care about possibly recovering from it, then, for a thorough and complete purge: * Remove the cron entry. * Make sure you don't have anything in the holding area for DailySet1. Delete or flush to tape as appropriate. * Make sure no other configuration refers to DailySet1 by inclusion. I'd try "find /etc/amanda -type f | xargs grep DailySet1". * Go through /etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf, and delete relevant directories and files, e.g. logs. * "rm -r /etc/amanda/DailySet1" (adjusting the path to suit). * You may have other data. Wait a day for locate to rebuild its database, then "locate DailySet1". On Debian, there are directories named DailySet1 under /var/lib/amanda/, /etc/amanda/, and /var/log/amanda/* Similarly for all clients. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
