You're not supposed to. The results will be E-mail'd to you (or to
whever is listed in "mailto" in amanda.conf).

Unfortunately, you chopped this off too soon. The implication is that
Amanda dropped into degraded mode, i.e. it could no longer write to tape
and started doing dumps to the holding disk only. But the empty list
also implies it didn't have anything to do.

This is probably fixed (over, and over again :-) in 2.4.2.

Don't know without seeing the E-mail Amanda sent to you. It should list
the reason it ran into trouble and dropped into degraded mode.
A more cryptic version can be seen by looking at the log.YYYYMMDD.NN file.
