estimate client|calcsize|server Default: client. Determine the way AMANDA does it’s estimate. · client: Use the same program as the dumping program, this is the most accurate way to do estimates, but it can take a long time. · calcsize: Use a faster program to do estimates, but the result is less accurate. · server: Use only statistics from the previous run to give an estimate, it takes only a few seconds but the result is not accurate if your disk usage changes from day to day.
