I for one was not thinking of amadmin ... info.  :)
You should also be getting a multi-page report emailed to
the user(s) specified in the mailto line of amanda.conf.

If you did not get one, perhaps your email system is not
setup for amanda yet.  You can also recreate the report
by using the amreport command (see the man page for options).
This can be emailed, saved to a file, or printed.

the current information you are seeing is from the "curinfo" directory.
Amanda tracks the last three dumps for historical planning.  If you
don't have sufficient dumps dummy numbers, negative, are inserted.
