Hello, I am quit new with Amanda and I dont understand an
important concept regarding Amanda.
I realize that Amanda decides what type of backup to perform (level 0 ,
level 1 etc) according to its algorithm.
However, how does it knows which backup level to perform when a user

More on the same story .. Im getting there :)
Seems that the bottleneck indeed was the gzip process ..
I've changed my disklist/amanda.conf to no longer compress the images, and
instead rely on the hardware compression in the LTO drive
(trading tape space for speed ;) ), and the results are
I have a bunch of disks Im amanda-dumping
4 18G disks, a couple od smaller disks and a 420G RAID5 array
Now obviously even a level 3 dump of the 420G dsk array is going to take
longer than a 0 dump of the smalles disks.
Therefore, I'd like ot tell amanda to start work on the 420G disk array

The only way to ensure it starts first is to get the others delayed
with starttime. But you probably don't want to do that. Consider

Basically, it starts 3 slow/large dumps (taken out of the end of the
