>>From my amanda.conf here:
-------------------------
# The format for a ColumnSpec is a ',' seperated list of triples.
# Each triple consists of
#   + the name of the column (as in ColumnNameStrings)
#   + prefix before the column
#   + the width of the column, if set to -1 it will be recalculated
#     to the maximum length of a line to print.
# Example:
#       "Disk=1:17,HostName=1:10,OutKB=1:7"
# or
#       "Disk=1:-1,HostName=1:10,OutKB=1:7"
#        
# You need only specify those colums that should be changed from
# the default. If nothing is specified in the configfile, the
# above compiled in values will be in effect, resulting in an
# output as it was all the time.
# The names of the colums are:
# HostName, Disk, Level, OrigKB, OutKB, Compress, DumpTime, DumpRate,
# TapeTime and TapeRate.
#                                                       ElB, 1999-02-24.
columnspec 
"Disk=1:18,HostName=0:10,Level=1:3,OrigKB=1:9,OutKB=1:9,Compress=1:7,DumpTime=1:7,DumpRate=1:7,TapeTime=1:7,TapeRate=1:7"
-------------------------------
which works pretty good here.
