Hello,
i'm using Amanda 2.4.4p2 on linux for some time now without problems.
But the last two backups didn't suceed.

I remember that the estimate phase took several hours. But that was a

test run again before I make any more claims.
Thanks for the answers.

I believe the problem is not with amanda at all.
Try to write to the tape with e.g.
dd if=/some/file of=/dev/st0 bs=32k
and I suspect you get an error too.
Try to solve that one first.

The "k" is meaningless without the second designator and you are
