By the way, the below device /dev/sda should appear as /dev/sda3 i.e. the main ext3 partition.

I've been using amdump manually to test Amanda, and am backing up a full disk's file system (/dev/sda). The first time its run it produces a report with several gigabytes worth of backup: USAGE BY TAPE: Label Time Size % Nb VFDailySet01 0:08 3393.4 4.1 1 Repeating runs on the same tape after this backup, seems to produce very tiny backups: USAGE BY TAPE: Label Time Size % Nb VFDailySet01 0:00 0.2 0.0 1 Does amanda only save 'changes' to files, or is something incorrect happening here?
