This actually brings up an RFE. Amanda will run something a few hours before a scheduled backup that checks to see if it has access to the tapes it needs to do the backups. If it does, great. If it doesn't, then it'll send a nag email for the admin to fix the situation. Can Bacula be programmed to do that w/out doing a mini backup? -- Jesse Keating GameHouse -- Systems Engineer ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.
