This error is misleading. You're trying to run 'dump' on /etc, which is not a filesystem -- dump only works (well, incrementals only work) on an entire filesystem. Generally amanda will complain about that, but I think the software RAID may be throwing it off. In any case, you need to use tar rather than dump to backup a subdirectory. Give that a shot. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
