This really shouldn't happen. In amanda.conf, there's a parameter called 'dtimeout' which controls how long amanda waits before it declares a connection dropped. Try increasing that. For the record, I regularly backup partitions over 50GB without a problem. You may want to look at why the connections are failing. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
