The planner of Amanda will always estimate the size of level 0, level N (the last level) and level N+1 (if "bumpdays" permits). Using all those numbers, the planner creates a plan for the backup. Planner starts with all the level 0's that are due, and the level N of all the rest (or N+1 if the "bump.*" parameters got triggered for this DLE). If the resulting total amount is too large for the output media, then Amanda will postpone some full dumps, and schedule a level N instead for some of those. Aparently Amanda did not feel the need for such a reordering. So the missing estimates for level 1 did not interfere with the planner algorithm. To be complete, when there is enough space, and the total amount of level 0 dumps is less than "balanced" (= total amount of level 0 divided by runspercycle), then Amanda will schedule some full dumps in advance to the due date. -- Paul Bijnens, xplanation Technology Services Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, * * F6, quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * init 0, kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
