The problem I have with using software compression is that it adds several hours to the "estimate phase." Am I doing something wrong? Does Amanda run the gzip ones to get the output size before running gzip again when performing the actual dump?
Strange, because during the estimate phase, software compression is not used. Amanda keeps a history of compression ratios, and guesses the compression ratio for that run from that history. (See also the "comprate" parameter in amanda.conf.)
What makes you believe in thinking software compression makes estimate slow?
