Currently running Amanda for backups of desktop shares.  The problem we 
come across is amount of tape used by certain individuals (mostly of the 
'managerial persuasion').  We have asked these individuals to limit the 
size of data kept in their shares many times, but they always 'creep up' 
above this size, to the point that they start affecting the other backups, 
come their rotation for a full backup.

Is there any way to put a 'size cap' on the amount of data being backed up 
from one particular source (or -all- sources, at that)?  There's a big 
difference between 'Could you keep the size of the share you want backed 
up to X?' and 'There is a limit to back up sizes of X.  Anything you have 
above this WILL NOT be backed up...'
