Ok guys, I did some more research on this issue and found out the following
information.
I tailed the amidxtaped.2003022517*.debug file in my /tmp/amanda directory
and found the follwing message when the restore is being abandoned.
amrestore: write error: Connection reset by peer
amidxtaped: time 114.410: amrestore terminated normally with status: 2
amidxtaped: time 114.411: rewinding tape ...
.........
I do not understand, why would amrestore would think that the "connection
has been lost" with the client? Becuase the network connection is still
there as I can still connect to "smbclient //mywinserver01/share001" before,
during and after the amrestore is done.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I am using Windows 2000 Advanced Server as my backup-up client
I am using Mandrake Linux 8.0 as Amanda Server
I am not using Tape Drive, instead I am backing up the files on
my Amanda Server
If I need to provide more information, please let me know
Thanks
