Hmm this seems abit complicated to me as im still trying to grasp the
basic concepts of amanda? If you could point me towards some reading
or howto i would be very grateful!

So what you are telling me is that i can't control wich days to do the full
backup and which days to do incremental

Ok let me get this straight fs here means filesystem ok? a filesystem
is per/machine? or is it per time amanda is running? So when amanda is
running and doing a full backup all the filesystems listed in disklist
should be able to fit on one tape? Im using the newest beta which will
backup to our NAS box with 400GB available so i guess its just a
question to fool amanda to think that im running some big DLT that can
have +80GB on one tape or so? Is that right?
