Amanda, when it sees a device used with tar tries to figure out the appropriate directory. Generally it does so correctly, but why chance it. Give the actual starting directory instead of sda2 or /dev/sda2. I'm guessing /dev/sda2 is your root file system. In that case, backup "/". Note, tar is given options by amanda to prevent it crossing file system boundries. So backing up / does not backup the entier system, just the root file system. -- Jon H.
