about the origin of this time - if it's the servers time, it's not very useful for incremental backups - But this timestamp (dumpdate) looks most attractive to me :-) Best regards from Dresden/Germany Viele Grüße aus Dresden Heiko Schlittermann -- SCHLITTERMANN.de

Re: amservice

s (I may be wrong!), amdump_client just *triggers* the backup, so the backup server needs to connect to the backup client (amservice) to pull the backup. amdump_client doesn't push the backup. That's what I understood 'ambackup' is for (available in newer Amandas). Best regards from Dresden/Germany
