jane, the disklist file looks fine. are you getting an email with errors? if so please send that and I can maybe help. If your getting "disk offline" errors it may be a permission issue. what user is amanda running as? are the filesystems (/dev/[sh]da[0-9]) owned by the group that amanda is running as? These are the first two things I would check. btw: I've had problems editing the group file by hand and adding amanda user to a group. It seems that the default group must be correct and amanda must be compiled with the correct options. Are you compiling from source or using an rpm? chrisj
