Is there a way to tell amanda to wait until x% of the backups have been dumped on the holding disk before it starts to put the files to tape ?

Not implemented (yet?).



Right now, my tape drive seems to start/stop often and I don't think it's good for the tapes/the motors/the performance.


You can work around it a little bit by changing the dumporder to:

dumperorder "SSSSSSSS"  # as many as inparallel parameter
