Hi, Jean-Louis, thank you for all your work and efforts to update the Amanda code and
make it better.
I'm very reluctant to promise to try the snapshot, because of my inexperience. I've
never downloaded a snapshot from a CVS system and installed it on any of my systems.
I'm not sure how I would set it up so that I could easily and quickly revert to the
working system I have now. My Amanda systems are all production systems, no
prototyping or trial systems, which my whole organization relies on for backups of our
internet-facing servers.
If trying the snapshot is an easy and simple thing to do, with very little risk to my
existing system, I'd be happy to try it. If there are some web pages describing how to
try CVS snapshots out, please let me know a URL and I'll read through them and see if
I can do it.
Thank you, again, for all your work.
-Kevin

Hi Kevin,
The latest amanda snapshot should have a fix for this, could you try it?
