No, 18 filesystems compressed to 10GB, problem was on the 19th, right?

What was the estimate/plan for backup:/dev/hda1?  Level and size,
see "GENERATING SCHEDULE" in logdir/amdump.1.

Confirm you've got 'record yes', and that it worked.

See also "got result" in amdump.1, it'll tell you if there's any
difference between a level0 and level1 estimate.

Confirm your dumptype compress is set where you expect for
backup:/dev/hda1.
