What shows an error occurred? That sendbackup*debug doesn't mention an
error or warning, the email afterwards looks friendly, and a backup did
occur (just not a complete one), so i called it a successful run. If
you see the format of the sendbackup*debug file as indicating an error,
though, you of course know better.
I haven't done anymore Amanda tests since that pseudo-successful run
last Friday. Since then i've been trying, with your help, to figure out
why it was not complete.
I am not cleaning out everything between tests. I don't know how to do
that or what that means.
I know that that sendbackup*debug is my only one and is from the
"successful" run, because of its file date.
I was trying to get Amanda working before moving on but i don't need
to. Let's drop it.
thx anyway.
