Hi Mike - I think there might be a problem with that version of gtar. Try getting the most recent version (even though it's still labeled alpha, that's the one you want). You will need to recompile the client to point Amanda to the correct gtar. HTH -Doug On Tue, 18 Jun 2002, Mike Heller

Greetings Amanda types. I've been using amanda for a few years now, so I'm pretty sure this can't be done. I thought I'd ask anyway, perhaps it will stimulate discussion of this as a potential new feature. I'm interested in having amanda flush any backups that are in the holding area as a part

that's an interesting idea.. maybe it would be better to make it part of the planner.. planner sees dumps in the holding disk, adds that count to the plan for the current day, and will flush it along with the current disks. this would save a lot of time for me as well. just add to amanda.conf:
