Brian, Yes, initially I was using holdingdisk for all config. But when I see backup is low and taking more time, I had doubt that my backup & holdingdisk are on same disk (NAS) which is 19TB. So I change it & force not to use it.
That holdingdisk on the NAS won't buy you much speed improvement, with the holdingdisk on the nas, all your data will be sent 4 times over the network, 1. from client to amanda server, 2. from amanda server to nas holdingdisk, 3. from nas holdingdisk back to amanda server 4. from amanda-server back to your vtape storage. and voila, there is your network-bottleneck again limiting you to roughly max-Networkbandwith/4 MByte/sec for the dumps. you realy need physical disk(s) in your amanda-machine for holdingspace to speed things up.
