The estimate time went from 10 minutes to 25 minutes (that could still be normal). The dump time went from 2 1/2 hours to almost 22 hours! Do you have networking problems (e.g. a duplex mismatch is a frequent problem). Try "netstat -i", and notice if you have a a large error count. There was also one filesystem added? Maybe that the cause? Or did you bypass the holdingdisk for one or more dumps? > > What could be the problem? I think I have the right tapetype > configuration in the Amanda.conf file. I believe the tapetype is correct, but you generate one yourself. It takes about 6 hours. Insert a scratch tape and type: amtapetype -e 35g -f /dev/your/tape > I also don't have a changer.conf file? If you don't have a changer, than you don't need one :-) -- Paul Bijnens, Xplanation Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, F6, * * quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
