For example, assume that a DLE had a level 0 on Monday, level 1\'s Tuesday through Thursday, and a level 2 on Friday\&. Then the files required for a restore of Fridays (the most recent) dump are those from Monday (level 0), Thursday (level 1), and Friday (level 2)\&. Tuesday and Wednesday\'s files are outdated\&.

-column shows how far off that night\'s backups are from the average size (shown at the bottom of the balance column)\&. Amanda tries to keep the backups within +/\- 5%, but since the amount of data on each filesystem is always changing, and Amanda will never delay backups just to rebalance the schedule, it is common for the schedule to fluctuate by larger percentages\&. In particular, in the case of a tape or backup failure, a bump will occur the following night, which will not be smoothed out until the next pass through the schedule\&.

The last line also shows an estimate of how many Amanda runs will be made between full backups for a file system\&. In the example, a file system will probably have a full backup done every eight times Amanda is run (e\&.g\&. every eight days)\&.
