About a week ago, my backup server stopped backing itself up: chena /var lev 0 FAILED [badly formatted response from chena] chena /boot lev 0 FAILED [badly formatted response from chena] chena / lev 0 FAILED [badly formatted response from chena]
All the other machines backup fine and theis setup as been workng for over a year. The only change I've made recently is to recompile the kernel with a tape support as a module. I've tried rebuilding and reinstalling amanda and I tried going back to the kernel with the tape support compiled in. Neither made a difference.
