What OS and OS version is the client, and what version of amanda? Also, as someone pointed out, it makes a lot more sense (especially with tar) to use directory names rather than device names. I vaguely recall some versions of amanda having issues with root partitions on Linux. So, if you're running Linux, make sure you're running the most recent version of amanda. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
