I have apparently taken this thread out of context, because I did not 
realize you were using 'vos dump' with Amanda.  I was under the 
assumption that you were going to add the 'vos size' parameter for an 
estimate prior to using the normal butc/backup system to dump the volume 
data to Amanda.  I was mistaken.

If this feature is simply another tool in the vos suite, I am in 
agreement that it is not specific to any one backup environment.
