Conrad and David,
thank you very much for your replies. I upgraded to tar 1.13.18, but
even this newest version does not remedy the problem of incorrect
computation of incrementals on mounted vfat filesystems on my AMANDA
server.
I think the time of truth has come: AMANDA *cannot* backup Windo

Yes, this was the problem. This report was 9 megs in size... The backup includes
lots of samba shares, and for each one it insists on including a listing of

Yes, this was actually the first thing I did:

no /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/log/amdump file at /usr/local/sbin/amstatus

I assume that this means it finished?

As Paul mentioned, this means you've "overloaded" the tape capacity.

Hi:
We're thinking of buying a Sun workstation/server and an Exabyte Mammoth

fine with a plain old Exabyte 8500 tape
Does anyone know if Amanda will work with the Sun L20 tape library?
