I wanted everyone to know this worked great. I found a good
document about how to do it:
system% unsetenv LC_ALL LANG LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE LC_NUMERIC \
LC_TIME LC_MONETARYLC_MESSAGES
system% setenv LC_ALL C
system% setenv LANG C
system% locale

I did not try this, I wonder if it would speed up the restores?
Anyway thanks as always, amanda is a great product and this list is
always helpful.
