amanda 2.6.0

[Goran Lowkrantz]

Hi Julian,

I am currently working on a new port of 2.6.1b2 with extensions supporting 
saving incremental zfs snapshots but I have some problems with the 
estimation of these incremental backups.

I have a test port at the Zmanda forums but I don't like the script I have 
had to do around wc to get it to send the total count to stderr instead of 
stdout.

If you are interested to check this out, take a look at 
<http://forums.zmanda.com/showthread.php?t=1615>.

This port is currently running on 5 test systems, 7.1 and 8 with a total of 
about 10T in ZFS pools and 2T backed up with UFS DUMP.

I have submitted a PR <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=130105> 
on a fail of zfs send -R that can be used for zpool backups instead of zfs 
file system backups, that the current implementation uses and when this is 
fixed, I will try and extend the current scripts to handle this too.

Cheers,
	Göran
