Isn't that funny. Dump is there, so I assumed I could use it. Opps.
Restore
doesn't show up though. Ok, gnutar is fine, except it failed still over
night.

Here's the errors for MacOS X:

/-- borg       / lev 0 FAILED [mesg read: Operation timed out]
sendbackup: start [borg:/ level 0]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/bin/gnutar
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/bin/gnutar -f... -
sendbackup: info end

I guess I should have started with that... But like I said, I'm not
going
to use this machine as a server:

bash-2.05# make
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link cc  -g -O2     -o amindexd  amindexd.o
disk_histo
ry.o list_dir.o libamserver.la ../tape-src/libamtape.la
../common-src/libamanda.
la -lm -lcurses
cc -g -O2 -o amindexd amindexd.o disk_history.o list_dir.o
.libs/libamserver.a -
lm -lcurses ../tape-src/.libs/libamtape.a -lm -lcurses
../common-src/.libs/libam
anda.a -lm -lcurses -lm -lcurses
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:

After I sent this, I figured out that the FreeBSD ports (my server)
splits
amanda completely between server and client, so I only had the server
not
amandad. That's fixed, and I'm completely running 2.4.2p1. The error
messages 
were different over night, and a whole lot less. I can probably live
with these.
I probably should do a registry backup before amanda, I just thought.

2.4.2p1

Here's the new lines. These look like open file errors. Like I
said, doing a registry backup, would cover this.

/-- horton     //endurance/bacup lev 1 STRANGE

sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/local/bin/smbclient -f... -
sendbackup: info end

Sure, that makes sense.
