It would appear that one of the entry's in the disklist has been
duplicated.
However, this would appear to be a good example of why tar should be
used so that disklist entries can be broken down into smaller pieces,
thereby facilitating amanda's ability to juggle schedules. With a
DDS3 tape, if each entry was no more than 2 Gb, then amanda has a lot
more wiggling room at add or subtract from the individual nights
schedule. Amanda tries to use a similar amount of tape each run.
Here, for 2 machines, both of which have the /usr dirs broken down
into subdirs, I have 45 entries in the disklist right now, and slowly
adding to the firewalls section of the list. Some of course are less
than 100 megs for a level 0, but this gives amanda the ability to
fill a DDS2 tape to the mid 90% area every night. From the above,
I'd break both /home, and /Documents up into at least 3 pieces each.
