Hi Chris,
> What do you have maxduumps set to? Maybe increasing or decreasing it > for this one host will help. Maxdumps is set to the default value ( = 1). man page says: maxdumps int Default: 1. The maximum number of backups from a single host that Amanda will attempt to run in parallel. See also the inparallel option. Note that this parameter may also be set in a specific dumptype (see below). This value sets the default for all dumptypes so must appear in amanda.conf before any dumptypes are defined. This does not seems to be a solution for my problem. But nevertheless, I can try if it has any effect. I'll set maxdumps to 2 and see what happens this night.
