Then I have a question. I have a directory/var/www/localhost/svn, access
to which has ONLY apache. When I do backup, and then I look a command
amadmin daily info tux '/var/www/localhost/svn $ ', amanda gives out
such message:
Current info for tux /var/www/localhost/svn:
  Stats: dump rates (kps), Full:   -1.0,  -1.0,  -1.0
                    Incremental:   -1.0,  -1.0,  -1.0
          compressed size, Full: -100.0%,-100.0%,-100.0%

  Dumps: lev datestmp  tape             file   origK   compK secs

As I understand, reserve copying for this directory has not occured. And
why? For other directory on this computer amanda gives out the following
message: 

Current info for tux /test:
  Stats: dump rates (kps), Full:  983.0,   1.0,   1.0

Here, how I understand, reserve copying has occured, whether not so? In
what there can be a problem. I apologize, if the question can seem
silly.
