Hai Dieter:

Does it not spell like the data is replicated? 
If on monday, files a, b, c, d, e are modified and no files are modified
for the rest of the week, then from monday through friday, all the tape
drives seem to have the same files.

Some mechanism to avaoid this?

Regards,
Nitesh




Hello Nitesh,
Amanda will take file a and b on tuesday and a,b,c on wednesday,
thursday,... on level 1 backup
since level one is incremental ONLY to the last level 0, not to other
level 1's

So you only have to take the last level 1 tape and the last level 0 tape.
