Okay, I went back and checked, and I was remembering wrong. It was not
that Amanda requires using the holding disk, it was that Amanda cannot span

Am I understanding this wrong?

Veritas has a "NetBackup" that claims to support Linux as the server.
But I was hoping to find something that someone here has actually used,
though. :-)
