I'll have to figure that out.  I'm having trouble realizing how Amanda
behaves.  So far it doesn't look like I can reasonably predict when
each file gets backed up.  It seems it can't do a full backup, and
then small incrementals that include only changed files.

I subscribe to the Richard Stallman FSF.org philosophies, and prefer
software that is no only free of charge, but also open source and with
freedom to alter.  I don't necessarily need those features in this
case, but I try to support the movement whenever practical.  This is
what attracts me to Amanda.
