That's "Estimate" time, not estimated time. "Estimate time" is how long it takes amanda to run a faux backup on all your filesystems to get an estimate of how big the various level backups would be, and choose what level to do on every filesystem. Look in /tmp/amanda/sendsize*debug on your clients to see what amanda is doing during the estimate phase. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
