Fair question Jon, and I know many people often don't give sufficient information. But I gave all the information I had available. I have changed nothing. > Rebuild amanda and do an incomplete installation so part are from different > version? I take it that's a question rather than a suggestion :-) And no, I didn't do that. This my backup box, which has been happily running 2.4.3 for some time now. > Are they really dump files or other cruft? They're really dump files. > Was a dump aborted so they are incomplete? No - just ran out of disk (tape) space, so the dumps stayed in holding. > Are they possibly so old their dumps are not in the logs any longer? No - all quite recent. > Do you really need them? :)) On tape? If not does amcleanup get rid of > them? Well, I would like to have them - they're recent backups. What happens if I delete them ? Are they currently in the indices, or do they only go there when they get flushed from holding ? And anyway, this seems to be a problem now such that future held dumps will be unflushable too - I'd like to avoid that if I can. Niall
