I use GenesAmandaHelper, a wrapper around amanda that I wrote 15+ years
ago and which takes care of the housekeeping better than amanda, all
fired off to do my 5 machines at about 2am every morning. Its reduced

Everything else is automatic. Computers should work for you, not make
more work for you.
