I just added another partition to be backed up by amanda to my configuration and it is
taking over a day to back it up to tape. I know amanda is still running because I do
successive amstatus' [config] and the percentage goes up incrementally. Do I need
to change the dump type to "compress server fast"? What is going on that it would
take this long to backup
