Somenumber and someword could also be applied to the end
of your first sample DLE. See first, the relevant manpages.
The simple-gnutar-local and the {...} are the dumptype
for that DLE. Dumptypes are defined in amanda.conf and
can be given a name (ex simple-gnutar-local). If the
dumptype has not been named in a previous definition,
it can be defined in the braces.
