Hi, I have got amanda to backup /etc on tape server [redhat 7].
However, when i try to back up /etc on another machine [redhat 6.2] I
get the following error in the email:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
6.2machine /etc lev 0 FAILED [disk /etc offline on 6.2machine?]
I read some of the earlier messages with the same problem, and thus read
/tmp/amanda/sendsize.debug on machine6.2 which gives me:
======
sendsize: debug 1 pid 12301 ruid 33 euid 33 start time Mon Apr 2

What on earth does that mean??! What on earth do I do?
Any help will be appreicated
Thanks.
