I'm hoping someone can clear something up for me. Does amrestore uncompress an image as it restores it? The reason I ask is that I had an image on an amanda tape that was supposedly compressed via gzip. The amanda mail report indicated that the original KB was about 5.1Gb, and Out-KB was about 2.9Gb for a 57% compression. The other image on the tape was listed with an Out-KB of about 4.3Gb and taper reported having put 7.2Gb to tape. The math works out. I just recently did an amrestore on that 5.1-compressed to 2.9Gb image (by doing amrestore -p, piped through SSH, and then >'d into a file) and the resulting file was 4.9Gb and not gzipped at all. When I ran that file through Gzip, it squeezed it down to the familiar 2.9Gb size. So was the image compressed and amrestore uncompressed it?
