Let me rephrase the question slightly. When running your normal "amdump" program, is it just the parallelism command that controls this, or do we need to kick off new (additional) crons to do this?
No, there can be only one amandad be active on one port (10080).
If you compile another version of amanda, to use a different service port (e.g. 10090), only then you can have two running at the same time.
(But this is only used when people have two amanda servers, and want
to spread the load of the backup over the two servers.)
The parallelism is controlled by maxdumps and splindle numbers. (and constraints like holdingdisk space, bandwith, etc.)
