Here is an amstatus before and after the backup. Before it estimated
1231m but after it only backed up 171m. Howcome amanda isn't backing up
everything?
amstatus is not the tool to use.
After a dump you should receive a report via email.
If you don't are not getting them,
they can be regenerated with amreport.
It looks to me like these are status reports from two different
runs of amdump. Note, if you run it without an amdump actively
running, amstatus reports on the previous run. You say the
first was "before" the backup. That would suggest it is the
status of the previous backup. It does not report the status
of the file system in preparation for a future run of amdump.
