Hi all,

I'm just getting my first Amanda setup working, and I've got a couple of
questions. First, is there documentation that tells how to interpret log
entries like the following?

SUCCESS dumper filename /files/share1 20050627 0 [sec 326.117 kb 550813
kps 1689.0 orig-kb 1843300]
SUCCESS taper fileserver /files/share1 20050627 0 [sec 34.484 kb 550814
kps 15972.6 {wr: writers 17214 rdwait 0.383 wrwait 29.156 filemark
2.233}]

That directory *should* contain 1.8 GB of files to backup, so I'm unsure
what I'm missing. However, I have a suspicion, and it ties into my next
question: how do you control dump levels when using GNUTAR?

I want to have individual directories in my disklist (ie, not individual
partitions, but subdirectories of those partitions), and dump just
chokes on this. I've switched to using GNUTAR, but I'm unsure how to
control when a full backup is done and when an incremental-style dump
level is done, or how it really works out when using GNUTAR.

Can anyone help me out on these points so I can get moving on my
testing? :)

Thanks!
