Is there any way to pause an amflush?  Our backup system first dumps to a 
holding disk
before it is flushed to tape.  Usually a single dump will not cover either an 
LTO2 or LTO3 tape
(two different backup profiles btw) unless there are a fair number of level 0 
dumps involved.

One of these holding disks is via a Gb connection on an NFS server.  The NFS 
server doesn't do a whole lot
else so it doesn't cause too major of headaches although some direct attached 
storage would certainly
work better.

Anyways I accidentally pulled the plug on the NFS server the other day while I 
was doing some
cable management and wasted the majority of an LTO2 tape (16GB of 200GB) before 
the server came back up.
Amanda ran along happily for a while, not getting any data, but I assume 
polling the NFS share for
the data it wanted until it timed out.

So is there a way to pause an amflush?  If not, where do I make a feature 
request?  I realize it's
not an entirely useful feature for every day use but it could be useful under 
certain circumstances.
