in runtar.*.log I find the following:
Isn't it runtar.*.debug ?
running: /bin/tar: /bin/tar --create --file /dev/null --directory / --one-file-system --listed-incremental /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/ulysses.lan.publivandyck.besda2_0.new --sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals .
It seems to me that tar is dumping to /dev/null.
That's the estimate phase: it runs gnutar just to get the result of --totals.
You should look in sendbackup.*.debug.
diskdir "/tmp/amandadump" # where the holding disk is
disksize 290 MB # how much space can we use on it
#diskdir "/dumps/amanda/work" # additionaly holding disks can be specified
#diskdir "/mnt/disk4"
#disksize 1000 MB # they are used round-robin
What version of amanda are you using? AFAIK "diskdir" or "disksize" are not allowed in the amanda.conf file (or not allowed anymore; was this pre-2.4.0?)
