Hallo Stefan,

Sorry, I haven't look carefully enough.

This means, however, that indeed all of the data is fetched by amanda  
prior to backing up, right (so all will go on the holding disk first)?

Presumably this mean that the holding disk is large enough to hold the sum  
of all home directories?

Cheers,

Jens
