Did you already run today's (10/30's) dump? Assuming you are running one dump per day, running the "balance" command after the dump has occurred generates confusing output, because the output includes a line for today's date but actually no (new) dumps will be happening today. So if you are able to run the balance command before a particular day's dump (but on the day in question), the output is a little bit more helpful.... Anyway by "last line" are you talking about the "overdue" line? "amadmin ... due" should tell you which DLEs are overdue, and you can then look back through through your Amanda Mail Reports to see if there's any indication of why they are overdue (especially the one that's 20 days overdue...) Anyway, the other thing that jumps out from the above listing is the line for 11/4, with a balance of 250%. We can't tell from the listing what the relatives sizes of the three DLEs in question are, though. Here's where a true Amanda expert could advise you better, but off hand I'd guess that one particule one of those three DLEs is much larger than all the rest of your DLEs and that fact is making it hard for the planner to come up with 10 consecutive days of plans that when taken as a group actually work out to functional cycle.... ("amadmin ... due" should help you figure out which three DLEs are scheduled for that day, if you don't already know off hand which one is super large.) Hmmm, it would be interesting to know if the the super-large DLE is also the one that's 20 days overdue. Perhaps its so big it can't fit on a tape, or something?
