Them is dangerous waters, Deb, the defaults aren't anywhere near optimum for my smaller system. Only 65 dle's now but may get expanded by next year. See my previous post, but its not quite ideal yet. Yes, planner needs to issue the commands it says its going to do in the email, but the promoter overrides the planners first inclination, too often IMO. So I'm doing level0's too frequently yet. This effect is enhanced if the dle's vary greatly in size, so its best to split the really big ones into smaller pieces. > > On Oct 30, 2018, at 1:20 PM, Chris Nighswonger > > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Why in the world does Amanda plan level 0 backups for all entries in > > a DLE for the same run????
