I sure hope someone is using Amanda to do tape backups.  I've
searched Google, read the man pages, and looked through all the
docs to no avail.

I have the following configuration:

O/S:            Debian 2.2 (potato)
Amanda:     amanda-client amanda-server amanda-common from
Debian.
Client          SambaTest
Server:        calvin
tapedir        /tbu

The client has the base Debian install, samba, dump,
amanda-common, and
amanda-client.

The server has the base Debian install,.amanda-common, and amanda
server

When I run AmCheck it returns no errors. When I run AmDump and
look at /tbu
I can see a file being written to.  The Client has about 3.8Gig
total on
it's disk however the file in /tbu reaches a size of about 141MB
then stops. It takes another 10 minutes or so for the prompt to
appear on the server.  The tape never functions.

The log is
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm at a total loss.

Any help greatly appreciated.

In Peace,
