IIRC, for a new DLE amanda assumes a 50% compressability. Does your comment imply that for DLE's that did not use compression, that a 0% compressability is recorded in the curinfo file? Wouldn't it be better to record an "unknown" flag instead to prevent problems like Sebastian is encountering? > > Sebastian Henrich wrote: > >Hello, > > > >I'm using amanda 2.4.5 to backup my server.
