Thanks @Debra, I set up a config according to that suggestions now. What I have to fix still: using extra "dumpcycle"-lines within the specific DLEs in disklist would mess things up in such a setup (overriding my new "archive"-dumptype I refer to in all the other dumptypes in the new config "archive"). For now I skipped that by running "amadmin force" ahead of amdump, but this should be more polished ;-) The goal is to have a setup where we have one archive-tape and n daily-tapes in the library and 2 cronjobs ... one for the daily runs, one for an archive monthly or so. And things should sort out on its on, with the occasional refilling of tapes. getting there ;-) thanks, Stefan
