I had a problem with one of my amanda servers not hearing back
from one of the clients during estimate phase. While it was my
fault (for non-amanda reasons I'd started amdump during daylight
hours when the machine was more heavily loaded).
I was able to get a very good idea of how long it too the estimate
phase to complete by examining the /tmp/amanda files on the client.
I'm not recommending this as a practice, but as long as the info
is in the log files... The estimate phase completes when the last
child terminates - AFAIK, YMMV
