I posted a question about starting to use the file: device and having problems backing up some filesystems, including all those over 2GB in size. As I was starting to do some more tests I realised that I may have some more pertinent information. I have amanda-2.4.3b4 installed only on the server which is using the file: driver. On the other server and all the clients I have amanda-2.4.2p2. Is there any likeliehood that this mixing and matching may be part of my problem ? I thought that to test the file: driver I'd only need to upgrade the server to 2.4.3b4 (because the clients are still doing the same thing i.e. producing a compressed tar file on stdout) but perhaps I'm completely wrong there ?
Kindest regards, Niall O Broin
