So it may be a relevant question for me. :-) Yeah Frank, how do you get such quick estimates? Even my unix boxes take 30 min. The pc's an extra 2 hrs. I didn't realize it was supposed to take longer ;-), I just grabbed my latest report. That particular config's disklist has 83 entries from 25 hosts. Most are small, the largest single entry is about 11GB. The used filesytem sizes total about 65GB, daily writes to tape are 7-10GB. All entries use tar, almost all use client compressed tar. Original daily size is 13-16GB). OS's are Linux and Solaris, and some of the larger directories are NFS mounted on the backup server (they are on an NFS server appliance). I don't do any Samba shares. Frank -- Frank Smith[EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems Administrator Voice: 512-374-4673 Hoover's Online Fax: 512-374-4501

Run Time is Total Wall Clock Time, Estimates included. Thanks. Since estimates, dumpers, and tapers can all run in parallel I don't think you can add up any of the times and get anything meaningful. Please define all run in parallel. My feeling is that no Dump will start until all Estimates are finished. If that's correct, then there could no parallelism (multiple sendsize, but zero Dumpers) during the Estimate phase, right? You get away with 6 minutes of Estimates, but mine takes an hour and a half. So it may be a relevant question for me. :-) -- Ulrik Sandberg Sorry, my best answers don't usually happen at 3am. The estimates have to finish first so the proper scheduling can be done, then the dumpers and tapers can run in parallel.

Times from amreport
I'm a little confused about the times reported by Amanda. Perhaps someone could explain? Estimate Time (hrs:min)1:25 Run Time (hrs:min) 4:02 Dump Time (hrs:min)3:07 2:38 0:30 Tape Time (hrs:min)0:43 0:42 0:02 Does this mean: a) Total run time (estimate, dump and tape): 4:02 b) Total run time (estimate, dump and tape): 5:27 (4:02 + 1:25) -- Ulrik Sandberg

The numbers don't add up because there is parallelism to be had from dumping simultaneous dumps to holding disk, plus there can be another dump simultaneously being spooled to from holding disk to tape. -Mitch
