>Is there a good way to run just the estimating part of amanda ...
Bernhard's suggestion will work for individual clients, but if you want
everything at once, run .../libexec/planner by hand **as the Amanda
user** with the config name as the only argument. It will dump the
schedule to stdout and the stuff that normally goes to amdump.<NN>
(how it arrived at the plan) to stderr.
You can preview what you're going to see by looking at any amdump.<NN>
file for "GENERATING SCHEDULE". That's a dump of what planner did for
that run.
The fields are:
1 client hostname
2 client disk
3 priority
4 dump level
5 dump date
6 estimated size (KBytes)
7 estimated time (seconds)
8 degrade mode dump level (optional)
9 degrade mode dump date (optional)
10 degrade mode estimated size (optional)
11 degrade mode estimated time (optional)
When you're done, you'll need to remove the "log" file in the "logdir"
directory from amanda.conf. If you don't the next Amanda run will
fail saying it thinks Amanda is already running. Test (as always) with
amcheck, which will also complain if it thinks something is still running.
