Yes. Dump can get just as confused as tar trying to back up the image it
is writing to. Worse, during a full restore, you'll bring that basically
useless junk back. Not to mention the wasted tape and time.
You need to put "holdingdisk no" in that dumptype. The easiest way to do
that is create a new dumptype based on the one you were using like this
(assuming XXX was the old dumptype):
dumptype XXX-nohold {
XXX # inherit everything from "XXX"
holdingdisk no # go direct to tape
}
Then change disklist to use XXX-nohold for that file system. Test it
before the real run with my favorite new thing I've learned about Amanda
recently:
amadmin <CONFIG> disklist <HOST> <DISK>
