Hello...

Since upgrading amanda, I'm seeing estimates ( via amstatus) way larger than they should 
be.  I went from something before 2.5.1p3 , to 2.5.2, to 2.5.1p3, 2.5.2, 2.5.1p3, and now 
2.5.1p3-20070516 ( on rhel4 x86_86 ).  The wrong estimates could be a result of going 
back and forth between versions, but I doubt it.  The estimates seem to be consistantly 
about twice what they should be.  The "how many tapes do I need" part of amdump 
seems to work correctly, so this might be a pure amstatus display issue.  On the DLEs 
that I can see individually and are relatively stable in size, the real dump size is 
about 50% of the estimate and the compression is also about 50%.  So I suspect something 
is using the original size instead of the compressed size.

in amanda.conf:
compress client
estimate server
encrypt server
server_encrypt "/usr/sbin/amcrypt-ossl-asym"

and a number of DLEs with:
skip-incr


from amstatus:
(something like)
wait for writing:  xx      8301m     16420m ( 50.56%) ( xx.xx%)

from amadmin info client
compressed size, Full:  54.1%, 54.1%, 54.1%
compressed size, Full:  54.7%, 54.7%, 54.7%
etc.



OR
since the difference for me is twice as large, or half as large, depending of 
how you look at it ;) the problem could also be a division/multiplication error 
somewhere.  e.g. (total/4) vs (total/3) vs. (total/2)
