Hi,
Is it possible to run amanda without-tapes so it dumps only to holding

But what I mean is not to take off the tapes physically but disabling tape

Put /dev/null in for your tape device when running the amdumps, then
set it to a real tape and do an amflush.
Wasn't there a comment on this list before about using something non-
existent (like /dev/nosuchdevice) instead of /dev/null because amanda
was somehow 'aware' of /dev/null and would
and... what about changing /dev/sg0 and /dev/nst0 and /dev/st0 (which are my
devices) permissions?
As long as you're not running as root, I guess this is OK. Seems like
a lot of work and potential for messing up to me, but whatever you're
comfortable with.
BTW, you shouldn't be using /dev/st0

Set tapedev to /no-such-device. Amanda will not be able to access
that as a tape device and fall back to degraded (incremental only,
unless you change reserve in your holding disk definition) mode.

I have done a little work configuring AMANDA with tape backups, but now I
am researching a way to back up to a separate disk array, and avoid using
tapes altogether. Does anyone know where should I be looking for such info?
