Thank you. I will get all this info to the list. I think it might be my hard drive, as it's old and this is the holding disk.
But it worked when I first setup amanda. Details to follow later.

Not from the info you gave. We need much more info. E.g. - amanda.conf - disklist - log files ~amanda: log.2004xxxx.x and amdump.xx - relevant debug files found on the client in /tmp/amanda/... - Your network topology (is this a machine over a 14.4 baud serial modem doing a backup of 4 Gbyte?) How fast is this machine? How large is the /var partition? - Have you tried the tar command by hand (you find the exact tar command in one of the /tmp/amanda/*debug files). Does it finish? How long does it take? If this is too much for the list, you may send them to me, if you like. -- Paul Bijnens, Xplanation Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, F6, * * quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
