questions regarding incremental backup sizes

[René Kanters]

Hi,




My amadmin's disklist output is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] amanda]$ amadmin test disklist
line 1:
    host werner.richmond.edu:
        interface default
    disk /home/rene:

        spindle -1

and my amdump.1 is as attached.



Thanks,

On my backup with dump/runs/tape cycle settings of /4/4/5, I get for every backup done that the size of the dump is the same size as the full backup. When I check the disk files (since I doing backups only to disk) I do indeed see that all the slots have the same sized backup in them. Just in case this has anything to do with it, my gtar version is 1.13.25.
