You are right.
Let me add that this chapter will soon be added to the official
AMANDA-docs (as soon as I find the time to convert, edit and update it

Thank you ;-)
To Erik:
maybe have a look at
http://www.amanda.org/docs/AMANDA-docs.html
(http://www.amanda.org/docs/topten.html ??)
I will commit more formatted files soon.
