Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way to tell amanda to dump to holding disk only. Then I will amflush it to tape, this way I can keep the tape busy all time as I understand to prevent shoe-shinning for sure. I understand if I don't put any tapes in the drive, this will be done. But I have a tape library can hold 16 tapes, I would like to take advantage of that without changing tape everyday manually like a single tape drive.

Thanks in advance.
