How can I tell whether anything good is happening with my amanda backup? I'm new to
amanda and trying to get it working on a system that I suspect has never been backed
up. (I see messages in amdump like "isgadmin:/dev/hda1 overdue 11318 days for level
0.") My tapelist shows:

The usual way is to look at the E-mail report you get after every run.
You are getting those, right? If not, you'd better take a look at
"mailto" in amanda.conf.

I've only gotten one email report, but I did get that one, so I believe that the
"mailto" is correct. That one came after the Dec. 21 run. It's also the one that gave
me the idea that it took 60 hours.
I can only "find" one log file:
Thanks, Mitch, for trying to help. I got your message after I replied to John, so I'll
continue
the thread there.
But, thank you so much for pointing out that my mailer isn't putting in CR where I
thought it was.
I'll try to correct that.
