Well, I rearranged the letters some in the include statements, combined the 2 smallest of them, and rearranged it all a bit, the last backup of the PublicA tree last night was 4x bigger then the next biggest. And my balance figures are looking better. Not ideal, but better. Changeing to real estimates ran the finish time up though, was finishing just under 4AM, took last night till about 5:30 AM before it sent me the email. So it made execution time about 2.5x longer since cron doesn't start amanda till 3:05. I've at least 2 jobs in the night that I verify ran and delete the emails, but I'll take a look at the last one which is session of sa-learn, and move the amanda run up to about 5 minutes after that email comes in. I'll likely make some adjustments every morning for a week as what I'm doing is recreating new level0's of all this with my adjustments. But I see all those level0's are filling that 2TB drive, its up to 82% this morning. Progress, I think... Copyright 2018 by Maurice E.
