(didn't show up on the ml, so I re-send)

is there any good trick to do this:

on amanda-client-host I run backups of VMs to tarballs (using
virt-backup and LVM)

in my amanda config I have DLEs pointing at the generated tarballs

Now it happens that the virt-backup isn't fully done when amanda already
wants to dump the DLEs -> this results in invalid backups!

I know, I could schedule amdump *after* all the virt-backups are done,
but I would like to optimize that: amdump should be able to dump other
DLEs in parallel already.

One solution would be to use the starttime parameter?
Rather static.

plan B: make virt-backup create some lock-file during its runs and make
the amanda DLE wait to be dumped until after that virt-backup lock file
has been removed.

Does anyone of you already have such a setup running?
