Hi all,

What variables affect "Run time" as reported by amanda after a run 
is complete?  For example, in my reports, I see the following:

  Estimate Time (hrs:min)    2:49
  Run Time (hrs:min)        10:33
  Dump Time (hrs:min)        8:38       8:38       0:00

So, it took almost 9 hours to dump to tape, but 10.5 hours of actual 
run time.  Does that imply that the first 2 hours were spent getting 
estimates and then spooling enough data to the holding disk before 
streaming to tape began (i.e. is the 8:38 in parallel with the 10:33) ?

Currently I'm using hardware compression on an LTO2 drive. Presumably 
things might be faster if I turned off hw compression and used the 
clients to do compression before sending to the amanda server?

Ideas, thoughts, commends, flames :)

Thanks,
