I'm now using amanda to backup ~90 filesystems which have a maximum total
size of 70M. I'm using a DLT4000  and a 4GB HD and I see that the tape is
waiting a big part of the time (the dlt can dump 10 times faster than the
network can provide data). I think I'll have to talk with my boss 
about getting a bigger holding disk / faster network.
Is there some place where I can find a description of the various entries
in the amdump file. I figured most of them out by looking at amplot.

Kris,
