This mail says that driver: WARNING: directory /backup/20001130 is not
writable. Can i get automatically group-access, not only user-access? Where can
i configure the permissions given by running amdump???
My Amanda user is amanda and the group is backup. I have done the configuration
with --with-user=amanda --with-group=backup. I changed the program files to:

My holdingdisk is in directory /backup. The /backup directory has the same
permissions like the program files but without the setuid.
Please help me. Thanks
