Didn't you say the problem occured when you switched from HW to SW compression? I've not heard anyone else encountering problems, so your's may have been an edge case. But presumably you will not change from HW to SW compression every 3 months. I recall 4 alternatives to deleting the configuration (with warrenties commensurate to the cost of the software). If none of them suits your fancy, perhaps a start-over will. - lie to amanda about the tapelength until things settle down - delete the curinfo files for the troubling DLE and accept the default comp-rate - ditto and set a comp-rate in our amanda.conf - edit the curinfo files and add a set of fake historical comp-rates -- Jon H.
