~raises hand~  :-)

There was a message I sent
(http://www.mandrake.com/en/archives/cooker/2002-09/msg01879.php) in
this thread replying to Todd that pointed to a message thread on the
Amanda Yahoo Group (yeah, I know, yuck) that had a pointer to it.  You
have to follow the pointer into the OLD/... directory structure to
find it.

I have a patch that is Marc's patch with only the append stuff in it
(IIRC) which I would be happy to send along.  I also have a patch
which seems to indicate that it fixes a bug.

I hear ya!  I was looking for that a long time ago too.  My backup
needs currently are more modest.

Is there actually development still going on with Amanda?  Are they
ever going to release anything?

Me too!!!  I would much sooner use a package from the distro that roll
my own.
