There's not enough information yet to know what's going on with your setup. You need to get through a complete amdump without it aborting before we deal with the holding disk situation. The datestamp directory is normal in the sense that that's created early in the amdump run to hold the images. But my guess is something else happened to cause the run to abort, hence the empty holding disk and amcheck whining about amdump still running. Check to see if amdump is still running (ps -u <amanda-user>). Assuming it isn't, run amcleanup. Run amcheck and make sure it's happy. Then run amdump and if it fails, report everything it had to say. If it does not fail, look in your holding disk area again. >I'm running Amanda version 2.4.2p2 Thanks for that info.
