What version of tar are you using? It might be related to what I saw in my recent posting, where tar 1.16 now returns an error code of 1 when a file changes during the run. Previous versions returned a 2 in that case, which I think just caused Amanda to flag it as STRANGE, but a 1 is interpreted as failed, so Amanda retries from the beginning until either it works or you hit 'too many dumper retries', whatever number that is. I haven't seen any replies on what 'PARTIAL' means. Frank -- Frank Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sr. Systems Administrator Voice: 512-374-4673 Hoover's Online Fax: 512-374-4501
