Hi All,
I am very new to this. So if the question I ask has been answered before,
please bare with me and point me to the right direction.
My problem is a "strange dump" error which seemed to occur more and more
often. I think I know what the problem is but not know how to fix it or
work around it.
Here is the report from Amanda:
=======================
These dumps were to tape Datapark08.
Tonight's dumps should go onto 1 tape: Datapark10.

=======================
I think the file that it can't find is a sendmail file. After the message
is being sent, it will delete that file. So of course it is not
there. Is there a way that I can by pass a certain directory so that it
won't back up the temporary files?
thanx.
Jean
