So I have set up different holding disk directories for each profile.

Is this documented anywhere?

I don't recall seeing it specified, but I've done it from the start.

Yeah, I did that with everything else, but this slipped past my radar...

Does amanda have any type of variables in its config files? I already have a common file referenced by the three amanda.conf files, as well as a common disklist. I'm thinking of a $profile so that I can define the holding disk, index directories and etc in the common file...
