No bandwidth utilized ? Seem to have pleanty of holding disk. I think I missed the start of the thread, how many client systems ? What are maxdumps and inparallel set to ? What is your compression algorithm ? client/server/hw/none ? Or some mixture of client/server/none for different clients ?

You have enough amanda work area to allow more than 5 concurrent dumps to run. This is a separate issue, the second half of the graph, the 1st half, estimate phase you already have far more capable help on than I can give. On Wed, Mar 02, 2005 at 03:38:29PM -0500, FM wrote: > here is some info :
