yeah, the dozens of amanda-users populating the discussions here ;-) > I suspect amanda does not like to leave things in her holding disk.

AFAIK it could only be influenced indirectly by using the various thresholds (keep stuff in holding disk until X tapes could be filled etc) > How about a cronjob to copy the tarballs from the vtape to another disk (NOT > the > holding disk, tho it could be a directory on the same disk but not in the > holding area). > Sync that area, and delete when done (if desired). Some automated restore(-test) then. ok. There could also be a separate cronjob with "amdump --no-taper" when I think about it. I could run that during the day maybe. This would give me time to run another script find-ing the latest dump in the holdingdisk etc Although it's not very elegant or "integrated", would be nicer to have that *defined* in amanda somehow: * keep this tarball in holdingdisk for 2 days * set up some symlink like "myDLE_latest.tgz" for the rsync-script
