Even if you have a single drive, you might want this ability anyway. I don't recall off the top of my head whether Amanda does this - it's certainly trivial to add a small script to look at the tape usage everyday and make this computation, if Amanda doesn't do this already. > How > does it deal with mixing on-site and off-site backups, perhaps in a > G-F-S scheme? Once again, this has nothing to do with stackers and libraries, which was your original question.
