In a configuration where amanda only backup local (SCSI) drives, are
there any benefits from using a holding disk?
Not that I can think of. And especially with an LTO3 drive, it's really
only going to hurt you.
Actually with AMANDA it might be a really good idea esp. with the faster
drives because there's no way you can keep them streaming over the network.
Erm, I think you missed the bit where he said he's only backing up disks
local to the backup server (and thus the tape drive). No network
involved.
