I am having similar problems, except my "stuck" dumpers don't eat up lots of CPU time, although I do have the high RevQ and SendQ problem. I am using amanda 2.4.2p2 backing up windows machines over SAMBA. A complete attempted dump can take upto 34 hours! Sometime a few disks fail, other times everything fails. If anyone has some experience with this I could sure use it... my boss is starting to tire of our backup solution not working. (I keep telling him that linux everywhere would solve the problem...) I can't give you exact server spec's right now... ask if you need them. The server has plenty of CPU and ram w/ 4 gig holding disk. Thank you, Jason B. PS: Sample daily report follows. These dumps were to tape MDM00001. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: MDM00002.
