I'm currently using GTAR for Amanda backups. The only problem I'm still having is a [data timeout] error on one of the directories. I can only assume this is because there are hundres of thousands of files under this directory and it takes GTAR forever to get data moving for amandad.
1) Is there anyway I can get GTAR to respond more quickly? I'd use DUMP, however this is on a Linux 2.2.x kernel and dump gets really pissed about live filesystems. 2) Which timeout value can I adjust in amanda.conf to avoid the data timeout error?
