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.
