Hello, The Amanda core team is pleased to announce the release of Amanda 2.4.5b1. It is the first beta of the upcoming amanda 2.4.5. The most important change is the possibility to use calcsize to do faster estimate.

CALCSIZE: estimate by the calcsize program, a lot faster but less acurate. SERVER: estimate based on statistic from previous run, take second but can be wrong on the estimate size. -- Jean-Louis Martineau email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Département IRO, Université de Montréal C.P. 6128, Succ.
