I am using amanda 2.4.4 and the amanda host (running RedHat 9) has a gigabit connection to the network. Yet it seems to utilize only a fraction of the available bandwidth. How do I force it to run at 100% capacity? Here are the statistics from my last backup and below you can see my amanda.conf file. Thanks in advance.
