-If the file /usr/local/etc/amanda/\fBconfig\fR/hold exists, \fBamdump\fR will wait until it is removed before starting the backups\&. This allows scheduled backups to be delayed when circumstances warrant, for example, if the tape device is being used for some other purpose\&. While waiting, \fBamdump\fR checks for the hold file every minute\&.
