correct ;-)

I do that in my crontab:

30 19 * * 1-5 /usr/sbin/amdump myconfig -ostorage=storage1; /bin/mt-st 
-f /dev/nst0 offl

30 02 * * 7 /usr/sbin/amadmin myconfig force; /usr/sbin/amdump myconfig 
-ostorage=storage2


I wasn't aware that doing this "resets history" ... I just want to have 
lev0 runs only on that day

thx
