aside from status quo: why not make a wish and a feature request? Shouldn't it be manageable to make amanda dump/store all the up2date meta-info *after* the daily backups (to the defined $storage)? Amanda "knows" everything after dumping and writing the backups to (v)tapes and whatever. Why not enable it(/her ?) to optionally add some kind of footer to all of this which contains stuff like indexes etc? pls let me know if I miss something pls let's discuss that Stefan
