Is there room on your holding disk? I noticed earlier that you said the holding disk "reserve” was at 40. Since I have nothing but amanda stuff on my holding disk, I set mine to 02 percent reserved for incremental type backups. However, if you have space for at least one of your DLEs, it probably should be writing something to the holding disk. Deb Baddorf Fermilab
