I did this once, way back when all I had was a single DLT drive and
no autoloader. I would just leave the drive empty all week, and on
Friday mornings I would pop that week's tape in then amflush
everything to tape. When that was done, I would place the weekend
tape in the drive and the full dumps on Saturday night would go
direct to tape, or, if I forgot, end up on the holding disk for
amflushing Monday morning.
This worked quite well IMO for the small environment I had at the
time.
