I am getting further with Amanda.  I ran a backup last night but had a 
problem:

error [/bin/tar returned 2]

This problem has come up in the past (searched the group) but there 
seems to be no specific reason for this.  I'm using tar version:

tar (GNU tar) 1.13.11

I'm trying to backup:

/boot   always-full
/       comp-root-tar
/big    comp-root-tar

With the result:

DUMP SUMMARY:

I'm not exactly sure why I can backup two partitions but not the third 
(root).  Is this a permissions issue?  I exclude the following:

./mnt
./proc
./no_backup
./backup
./download
./usr/doc
./usr/man
./usr/src
./var/spool/mqueue

Thanks for any help or direction you can provide.
Mike
