Thanks Jean-Louis for the explanation.
I still have a question: it seems as peer the man page that
MATCH-AUTOLABEL is a keyword but if I set it to false I get an
error when loading the config file:
'/opt/amanda/etc/amanda/top/amanda.conf', line 22: configuration keyword
expected
Line 22 is:
match-autolabel false
??
thanks,
jf
