and on the other side of the coin, is there any way to encourage the planner to do more level 0 dumps in a given day? I occasionally find, often after a kernel update/reboot, that amanda thinks that a large number of DLE are 'new', and fairly quickly moves them up to level 2. but then the planner leaves them at L2 for days or weeks, at the same time using less than 1 TB of my 2.5 TB tape. I know that I can force a level 0, but that has to be done on each DLE. it seems like there should be a way to tell just amanda to use a larger fraction of the tape, but I can't figure it out. -- Ned Danieley (ned.danie...@duke.edu) Department of Biomedical Engineering Box 90281, Duke University Durham, NC 27708 (919) 660-5111 http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2012-02-11/
