Do you have something like this in your amdump file: planner: time 1817.635: got result for host condor disk //bunting/e$: 0 -> 5524252K, 1 -> 108113K, 2 -> 108113K It should verify that it calculates the level 0 and level 1 backups. Is the level 0 actually written entirely to disk (or tape).

If you place this line in your amanda.conf: autoflush on then you don't have to worry about this type of problem in the future. Anything left over from the previous run will be flushed without the need for an amflush. Sometimes, my tape fails partway through, or I run out of memory, or some oth
