Me too, though that has typically been for fairly short times. At least short relative to my tape cycle. I'm going to have to look at some of those "new-fangled" amanda commands like amvault or am??? and see if I can save about the last months' worth of dumps from that system. Maybe store it in some separate data structure than my current vtape collection. Then it would not matter if they get overwritten.
