Hi, Here's my (very) small personnal experience: A few years ago, when I tried it, I couldn't enable server-side software compression while bypassing the holding disk with my IBM ULTIUM LTO-3 drive:

On Curie, I did a make clean in /tmp/ivan/amanda-261-patched/amandad-src and then a make. Checking ./.libs/amandad I find no evidence of the 2.4.5 library. [curie]: /usr/tmp/ivan/amanda-261-patched/a

OK, I compiled and installed that version. Re-ran a backup, and the results were similar. A total of 2 of the 12 filesystems on 3 machines suceded, the rest were PARTIAL. Debuging sugestions welcome.
