After a few hours, all the processes are have gone away. See sendsize
log below.

I guess so. It has worked before for a few weeks.

Comparing this to the total number of filesystems, sendsize is
outrageously slow. Any idea why? That's four filesystems, only the last
(big) one is this slow.

Anyhow, may this be related in any way with the error message in

killpgrp: pid 45070 finish time Thu Jul 19 16:21:19 2001
Just having reinstalled amanda client, the amanda processes on both
clients are still run by user "backup" instead of "operator". Both
machines have similiar amounts of data to backup. One of both clients
succeds, the other does not.
Help greatly appreciated.
