Is there any wisdom available on optimization of dumporder?
Kind regards,
Chris
I have a question about the dumporder parameter in amanda.conf.
I want to back up 4 servers. The volumes of data on disk are as
follows:
Server1
/dir1 298G
/dir2 74G
/dir3 66G
Server2
/dir4/backups/backup1 57G
Server3
/dir5/backups/backup2 28G
Server4
/dir6/backups/backup3
actually reasonable.

This is personal experience only, but I find that in general, if all
your dumps run at about the same speed and you don't have to worry about
bandwidth, using something lik

After looking over the feedback from Brian and Austin and reviewing
the actual sizes of the DLEs, I ended up with this sort of thing:

I've tried the new amanda-2.4.3b1, with a amanda.conf file

If you run the backup on these servers single threaded it takes about

Ok,
estion:
1) dose Amanda get the size of all the backup files and then figure the
order that it will write to tape?
Amanda does an estimate of each DLE, and from those figures
decides on which dumps to choose first (dumporder).
2) will Amanda get the size of the tape and then figure the order th
