Ok,

So this brings up 2 questions:

1. Since I want to be able to implement this without impacting everything else I
read that it was possible to call directories by modifying the disklist in the
following example:

"Try to redefine your disklist as in the following example:

fatboy /bigmama_BIGDIR /bigmama { # a big subdirectory
comp-user-tar
include "./bigdir"
}
fatboy /bigmama_FILES01 /bigmama { # all files beginning with...
nocomp-user-tar
include "./file[01]*"
}
fatboy /bigmama_FILES23 /bigmama {
nocomp-user-tar
include "./file[23]*"
}
...
fatboy /bigmama_REST /bigmama { # Catch-all
nocomp-user-tar
exclude "./file[0-9]*"
exclude append "./bigdir"
}
(example taken from a mail by Paul Bijnens on the AMANDA-users-list)"

If I'm correct I can break this one file system up into multiple DLE's? I'll
just exclude or include what I need...

The other question is will Amanda automatically prompt for a tape change or will
I have to define this (I'm only using one tape device)?

Thanks,

James
