Hi,

I was hoping I could get a little help in reading the output of Amanda (2.6) 
when I get the completion emails from it. Its a new install and I find it 
confusing on why it makes some statements in the information email after it 
completes the backup.

Here is the information from the email and what I assume it is refering to, 
please correct me if I am making the wrong assumptions on what this is telling 
me.

STATISTICS:
                          Total       Full      Incr.

Avg Dump Rate (k/s)     45348.8    45348.8        -- 

All pretty straight forward above; total run time almost 13hours, capacity 
backed up 1.44TB, no compression. 2 FS's in my DLE, and the Dump rate was 
45MB/s .


Tape Time (hrs:min)        7:07       7:07       0:00

Chunks Taped                 40         40          0
Avg Tp Write Rate (k/s) 57752.5    57752.5        -- 

Here is where it gets fuzzy... and not in logic. Tape size... the amount that 
was put to tape? Tape Used... 359%? Avg Tp Write Rate, the holding disk wrote 
to the tape drive @ 57MB/s....correct?



USAGE BY TAPE:
  Label            Time      Size      %    Nb    Nc

  AmaTor-005       0:20 86912230K   21.1     1     3

How did my Tapes load more then their capacity of 360GB each (LTO3 @ 400GB 
native capacity - 40GB tape split size).

I cant tell if this is an error or just for my information, I assume it caused 
by the Tape Split Size value we use.

And finally this final output which tells me that bandwidth was different for 
the 2 FS's , why would one throughput be higher then the other one.

Thanks for the decryption services :) .
