Hi,

I am experimenting with Amanda on our database servers and have discovered
that we backing up our databases is proving to be a challenge using Amanda.
Specifically, we need to be able to run some pre/post script before/after
backing up certain filesystems within a backup session e.g.

if I have the following:

/db1
/
/usr
/var
etc

I want to be able to run a pre script before /db1 and a post script after
/db1, then continue backing up the rest of the filesystems in order.

Also, Amanda seems to backup the filesystems according to its own order
instead of the order listed in the config file.

Is there or will there be a feature that will incorporate pre/post scripts
per filesystems and also allow a specific order fo filesystems dump.

Thank you.
