What kind of optimiaztion does amanda use while flushing dumps to tape? While doing the dump initially, she seems to optimize to get the small jobs done first, and thus they go onto tape in a similar order. But I'm currently without a stacker. So only the first part of the dumps make it to tape "live" (so to speak) and the rest get flushed as I manually mount tapes. I'm hoping that some kind of knapsack-packing algorithm is used ..... to fit the largest files on the tape first, but then to add smaller ones to fill the top of the "sack". My archival "do all the level 0's" is taking up 5 tapes, hence the optimization question!
