John,
Thanks for the great advice. Funny, just before I got your email, I set up the cron the following way: 45 0 * * 2-6 /usr/sbin/amdump BIG1 >& /tmp/debug This morning, I have the following in /tmp/debug amdump: could not find directory /etc/amanda/BIG I am not sure why BIG1 is being truncated to BIG, and why did it just start to happen. Amanda home directory/login is valid (su - amanda -c pwd). I tested that last week. I am running last nights dump right now, but I will test the cron again by changing its time to a few minutes in the future for testing. Thanks. "John R.
