I got a nsaty suprise this morning. I have a a laptop, that can be on
either my home network, or the network at work. On both networks, it's set
up to always get a level 0 backup.

I mucked up the netscape settings for me, and decided to just restore
~/.netscape from the amanda backups. 

Heres a transcript of the seession

Here is what the partitons look like on this machien:

/dev/ad0s2a      99166    87544     3690    96%    /
/dev/ad0s2f   10558602  5865974  3847940    60%    /usr
/dev/ad0s2e     396798    31840   333216     9%    /var

And here is the disklist entry for this machine:

brown ad0s1 comp-user-tar 1 lan0
# brown ad0s2 comp-user-tar 1 lan0
brown ad0s2a always-full-compress 1 lan0
brown ad0s2f always-full-compress 1 lan0
brown ad0s2e always-full-compress 1 lan0

The machine is a FreebSD machine, the tapehost is HP-UX.

Does anyone see any reason that I should not be getting backups?
