/net is in my experience used for nfs style mounts.  Thus it would not
be backed up with a DLE of /.  If on the otherhand you had a DLE of
/net/mysystem (mysystem being the amanda server), which would correspond
to the / directory of the myserver, then some double backups might be
getting done.

If you are doing indexing (most amanda sites are), then you can look at
the index files and see what files are being backed up.


As to the 131 day old DLE without a backup, I suspect it is being reported
in your daily reports as "failed" or some such.  Due to bad administration
I have a few such beasts.  Some home remodeling caused me to shutdown a
couple of systems and store them in a closet.  They have not been brought
online since and I failed to adjust amanda's config.

This can also happen with laptops that keep missing the backup window,
multi-OS-boot computers where one OS never seems to get used when amanda
runs, or following some kind of reorg of file systems and an old DLE
corresponds to a file system or directory that no longer exists.
