I usually leave the disk device in the DLE and put its mountpoint as a
comment at the end of the line.  I guess since I'm a hardware guy I'm
more concerned with remembering which device (or meta-device) the
backups are from, so if the box goes kaboom, I know immediately what was
mounted where.  It's just how I think of my systems, and I'm glad AMANDA
is flexible and smart enough to figure out what I mean.  ;)

I will agree that this is nice and tidy, though.

Thanks for explaining it so well Paul!
