Sorry, dude, sorry...

I guess that *might* help.  I could probably get it down to 
a full backup every week.  Would I just need 2.4.4 on the 
server?  Or the clients too?

True, but I have 18GB over 30 tapes.  So, to be completely 
safe from Amanda filling the disk with unnecessary full 
backups, I'd have to set the tapelength to 600MB, which, 
unfortunately, wouldn't be enough for any single client full 
backup.

Is there a wishlist for 2.4.5 anywhere?

Regards, Ralph.
