Hi Dustin, I'd tried it not using pigz with the original errors. Thats when I added NO-UNQUOTE to see if it helped, I'll run again with pigz but I believe the problem is elsewhere. On Wed, Jul 07, 2010 at 10:46:32AM -0500, Dustin J. Mitchell wrote: On Wed, Jul 7, 2010 at 10:41 AM, Mark Adams

Since amanda-3.1.x my backups nearly always FAIL (the amanda-report-mails tell me so). Without going into detail: is there some list of events triggering that FAIL ? Is it just because not all DLEs fit onto tape every time? Happy to share logs if necessary. Stefan
