Re: Ordering the dumps?
Whoops... Found your answer in the spam folder. That's a very interesting document, packed with very useful informations. Probably something changed in the meantime, but it's worth reading anyway.

I know there is a way for Amanda to prioritize the DLE, but I am not sure what configuration I should use. I would start by only dumping selected DLEs or even a single one: amdump config somehost /directory This should get your runs into balance step by step (run the biggest ones separate at first, later runs might work with full set of DLEs). btw: it's recommended NOT to use "localhost" in disklist.
