I have tried all sorts of wierd and wonderfull combinations of things as the
diskdev.
I have tried
paperbark /dev/hda8 dumptype
paperbark /home dumptype
paperbark /mnt/c-drive dumptype
paperbark / dumptype
You name it and I have probably tried it :) ( i think? )
And I still recieve the same error message
The following message is same for them all except the diskdev section
changes. ( below )
I did have another look at the Amanda FAQamatic and found an article on
there saying that the UDP packets may not be large enough, but it also says
that this should no longer occurr since they increased the packet size from
1 kB to 64 kb.
I am using Redhat 7.0 on a PII 400 with 192 MB ram, surely I needed worry
about the UDP packet size... ??????
Thanks everyone for their help so far... I just hope that we can nut this
one out.

Nice idea :-)
No, "diskdev" is the harddisk (sig!) on the client that you want to
backup. Ex. if you have 2 disks on client1 there are 2 entries:
client1 /mountpoint1/of/disk1 dumptype
client1 /mountpoint2/of/disk2 dumptype
And possibly lots more for other clients.
The tape device is set in your amanda.conf file and that's the only place
where it is needed.
