I discovered I had ca. 200 hanging backup processes, like: backup 3004 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Aug22 0:00 [amandad] <defunct> backup 3034 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Aug22 0:00 [sendbackup] <defunct> and one like this: backup 23748 0.0 0.0 40184 128 ? Ss Aug19 1:00 amandad -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped After killing them, the next backup round completed succesfully...
