Hi, I've been noticing that our amanda backup fails every 10 days and stop to backup our main server. Can someone point me why I'm getting this? I'm not very familiar with amanda and we rely on someone's script for our backup which makes it more complicated. I would appreciate for any help. Thanks.
Following are some errors I received from amdump.1: send req failed: Message too long taper: read label `VOL3MDAILY' date `20011004' send req failed: Message too long taper: wrote label `VOL3MDAILY' date `20011016' send req failed: Message too long : error result for host amber disk /export/share/remedy: Request to amber timed out. error result for host amber disk /export/share/testarea: Request to amber timed out.
