The units are bytes/second (*not* bits/second), adjusted of course by whatever multiplier you specify. > Note 1 on this, I was surprised that with server = client this was > a factor. Amanda has a more general way of dealing with this. You can put multiple "interface" sections in amanda.conf, with different capacities; then specify for each DLE which interface its data will travel over. (The "interface" sections are intended to correspond to the NICs in your server, but Amanda doesn't try to enforce this.) So you can just create an "interface" section with a really high capacity, and use that for the server's DLEs. As an aside, I recently set our Amanda server's netusage way higher than its NIC's capacity. (a factor of ten, to be specific; that's how I discovered what the units are :-) The Dump Time reported in the nightly emails went through the roof, but the interesting part is that the Run Time wasn't much affected -- maybe even a small decrease, though I don't recall for sure. That surprised me at first, but it makes sense with a bit of thought. -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.
