Hi, Stefan,
Thanks for pointing out the option on amdump to just backup a single host or
partition; I never used that, and overlooked what you were trying to tell me in
my original response. I've been working since yesterday to implement your
suggestions.
I'll modify the slashes to back-slashes today, when I'm able to make an
individual run for just the admin //db/f$ share.
WRT the '$' metacharacter, what I actually had to run was:
amdump DailySet1 admin '//db/f\$'
Thanks, again, for your help and suggestions.
-Kevin

The character $ seems to be interpreted as the regex-metacharacter.

This way the estimates should be bigger than the actual dumps.

the second line would just dump the DLE given, //db/f$.
