No, that, or 1.13.25, the latest 'alpha' version, appear to be
good according to report

I'm just starting using Amanda (hence the level of questions :-) ) and I
currently am backing up 4 filesystems on 2 hosts though I want to increase
this as soon as I'm happy with what's going on. I'm currently puzzled about
the size of level 1 backups. Look at these two extracts from mail reports:

Hi all
Has anybody already implemented following backup solution:
Amanda with Spectra Logic 1 AIT-1 or AIT-2 ?
Does it work ?
I didn't find an exact information at the amanda.org page.
If someone can tell me his/her experience I would be thankful.
Greetings
Heiko

We kick off our backup at 10pm at the moment we are only
backing up 4 seperate directorys i.e. 4 seperate disklist entries.
These are estimated by amanda to be 17.4GB. The estimates are
taking just short of 8 hours to complete which is unacceptable.
This is after making every dump a full dump

You don't need the patch for tar 1.13.19.

From My experience, 17gigs of a (few) large files does not take a long
time.
On the other hand, backing up a large amount of files in a (single)
directory takes a long time. The orig tar that came with this (linux)
sys readily reached 80% cpu usage. The later tar fixed

Hi,
I am working with a very large RAID array which needs backing-up.
The array has 3 partitions, each containing approximately
150GB of files.
I have a tape changer with 20 tapes, each holding 50GB of data.
Since amanda currently will not back up a disk larger than a
tape, I believe I need to

Hi David,
I am no expert on this, however I think you may run into problems with
that approach. Amanda expects consistency with the disk list and if you
changed it each night, I think you'd have trouble with restores and
Amanda would have trouble keeping track of the level of backup needed.

There has been some recent discussion of this on (and off) the list. Each
different path in the disklist will create separate index entries. While
generating a new backup file every night looks good on the backup side, it
can be a nightmare on the restore side, depending on your data. I wouldn't

If not, can I tell amanda to just give up on any disk which
