Are you saying that you are able to successfully backup the Netapp without using the modified dump program & using Amanda version earlier than 2.4.4 ?
If you are successfully able to do so, can you send me your disklist for the Netapp part so that I can compare with mine ? The modified dump program for Netapp works fine for smaller directories. But I'm using DDS4 tapes (20Gb uncompressed) & my filesystem on the Netapp is about 90 Gb, so usually backups for the directories on the Netapp that are greater than 20 Gb fail.
