yes - that's right. the slow part is your computer compressing the data. The
"offline" message is a "yet to be crafted" question for this list - amanda
isn't backing up the reiserfs partition on one of the machines. The drive is
a SDLT110, there are 3 servers, and a dedicated 40G holding disk. After
setting it up this way, the performance of amanda skyrocketed (by having a
dedicated holding disk, fast backup drive, one server getting multiple
clients to do client-side compression).

Cheers,

Chris

Does this look right?

It is saying it took 11 hrs to dump 54GB or 24GB compressed.  I have a
quantum DLT8000-40 which is rated
at 6MB/s or 12MB/s compressed.  11hrs seems a long time even considering
gzip as the software compression.
Is there something I am missing here?
