It probably did a level 0 because it was time to do it. What's the
dumpcycle? When was the last level 0?
Post the amdump.1 log file.

Whenever planner advances the backup level to a level 4, the rest of
the system treats it as if it was a level 0.
I can raise the BUMPMULT to prevent that I suppose, but wouldn't it make
more sense to fix it? I get the impression there is a modulo 4 someplace
in the middle.
Last night planner set /home to level 4. But In
/tmp/amanda-dbug/server/Daily,
[r...@coyote Daily]# grep level *.20101112*.debug|grep /home
shows the dumplevel as 0 in all returns. And no returns contain planner
hits as planner does not say 'level', just the number.
Moving to /tmp/amanda-dbg/client/Daily, that same grep shows the estimate
calls only:
[r...@coyote Daily]# grep level *.20101112*.debug|grep /home

But it actually did the whole 20 gigabyte level 0. gzipped to 12. ?????
