Amanda will refuse to start new backups if it "sees" itself using more than 'netusage' amount of bandwidth. It doesn't actually do any real-time measuring. In fact, I'm not sure *exactly* how it calculates it, but I think it's based on dumprate. In any case, 600 kbps is *tiny*. I just crank it up to the supposed interface speed and let amanda have at it. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
