Too bad that it did not help. I still have no idea what the reason for that problem is.
I assume you are using the packages amanda-server and amanda-client from Ubuntu's repository. I remember there were several issues with them under Debian and Ubuntu in the past. Maybe it would help to build amanda from the source tarball? Not directly related to your problem (I think) but probably of interest if you are using package amanda-client on Ubuntu 18.04: https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/Ubuntu1804AmandaProblem Jens On 9/11/2019 6:34 PM, Robert Reilly wrote: > I added the timeouts but still see the following in the amandad log and > backup does not complete and the procs are still defunct.
