here is some info :

We have performance problem with a 47 GB partition (on the backup server).
OS : Linux Redhat Enterprise AS 3 V4
Version : amanda-2.4.4p1

/dev/cciss/c1d0p2     160G   56G   97G  37% /amanda

inparallel 50
netusage  30000
maxdumps 5

holdingdisk hd1 {
    comment "main holding disk"
    directory "/amanda/daily"
    use -50 Mb
    chunksize 4 Gb
(...)
}
Can force the backup order so this partition is the first one to be backup ?

thanks !

No bandwidth utilized ?

Seem to have pleanty of holding disk.

I think I missed the start of the thread, how many client
systems ? What are maxdumps and inparallel set to ?

What is your compression algorithm ? client/server/hw/none ?
Or some mixture of client/server/none for different clients ?
