Like I see the data for the 4/06 backup at +384.2%, but I am unsure what is to be backed up on 4/06. How do I know what Amanda plans to backup on this day? I also see a big zero in the balance for 4/08. What is that about? I know that I can force a full backup, but I'd rather let Amanda balance the load. I just need to understand what disklist entries are being backed up when.

Thanks Dave,
So then if /net/mysystem/home is on the same partition as /net/mysystem/username, is /net/mysystem/username being backed up twice. It sounds to me like it is.
Erm, not sure, because /net/mysystem/username is not mentioned in your disklist. From the above entries, /net/mysystem/username lies under / and would thus be backed up.
/net is in my experience used for nfs style mounts. Thus it would not be backed up with a DLE of /. If on the otherhand you had a DLE of /net/mysystem (mysystem being the amanda server), which would correspond to the / directory of the myserver, then some double backups might be getting done.
If you are doing indexing (most amanda sites are), then you can look at the index files and see what files are being backed up.
As to the 131 day old DLE without a backup, I suspect it is being reported in your daily reports as "failed" or some such. Due to bad administration I have a few such beasts. Some home remodeling caused me to shutdown a couple of systems and store them in a closet. They have not been brought online since and I failed to adjust amanda's config.
This can also happen with laptops that keep missing the backup window, multi-OS-boot computers where one OS never seems to get used when amanda runs, or following some kind of reorg of file systems and an old DLE corresponds to a file system or directory that no longer exists.
