+# dumptypes
+#
+# These are referred to by the disklist file. The dumptype specifies
+# certain "options" for dumping including:
+# index - keep an index of the files backed up
+# compress-fast - (default) compress on the client using fast algorithm
+# compress-best - compress using the best (and slowww) algorithm
+# no-compress - don't compress the dump output
+# srvcompress - Compress dumps on the tape host instead of client
+# machines. This may be useful when a fast tape host
+# is backing up slow clients.
+# record - (default) record the dump in /etc/dumpdates
+# no-record - don't record the dump, for testing
+# no-hold - don't go to the holding disk, good for dumping
+# the holding disk partition itself.
+# skip-full - Skip the disk when a level 0 is due, to allow
+# full backups outside Amanda, eg when the machine
+# is in single-user mode.
+# skip-incr - Skip the disk when the level 0 is NOT due. This
+# is used in archive configurations, where only full
+# dumps are done and the tapes saved.
+# no-full - Do a level 1 every night. This can be used, for
+# example, for small root filesystems that only change
+# slightly relative to a site-wide prototype. Amanda
+# then backs up just the changes.
+#
+# Also, the dumptype specifies the priority level, where "low", "medium" and
+# "high" are the allowed levels. These are only really used when Amanda has
+# no tape to write to because of some error. In that "degraded mode", as
+# many incrementals as will fit on the holding disk are done, higher priority
+# first, to insure the important disks are dumped first.
