Just completed my first amanda backup successfully, mostly. However, I got an error on three of my five hosts about "missing results". Looking this up in the searchable archives led me to the /tmp/amanda/sendsize.*.debug file, and this showed that I had a directory named /etc/amandates, instead of a file. I removed the directory, touched the file, then chmod and chown it to amanda:disk 0600. Should be fine, I think.
However, when my backup finished, the report noted that the tape was only 10% full, and it didn't eject. Is this normal amanda behavior, to not eject a tape until it's full? I want to run amdump over again right away. Should I manually eject the tape (with mt) and insert a new one, or just start amdump again with the same tape in the drive? Thanks, again, for all your help. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.
