define dumptype user-tar { root-tar comment "user partitions dumped with tar" priority medium }So if I understand correctly, I should add the compress line into the user-tar section? Since it's a Samba mount and not a native Amanda backup per se, should I be using a "server" compression rather than a "client" one?
Actually, you can just your user comp-user-tar dumptype. The "client" in the case of samba backups is actually the *nix box running smbclient, not the windoze box. So it'll be the *nix box doing the gzipping for 'compress client'.
