i doubt i have is why the units of the speed are kps since the units of the rest of the typetape are kbytes??? If you read the amanda(8) man page, you'll see "kps" means KBytes per second, so the value you got seems perfectly reasonable to me. All the rest of the values are sizes, not speeds,

Re: config file problems

Were I amanda's designer, I don't think I would have selected for an unspecified dumpcycle, a number from the ether (is 10 another of amanda's infamous compiled in values?). ... It's not "from the ether". The amanda(8) man page clearly states that the default value for dumpcycle is 10 days.
