Jobst, if your data grows you may actually run into an estimate timeout after a long period of success, I did just the other day, had a 20 minute timeout and checking the /tmp/amanda logs on the client I found that the estimate didn't finish for nearly 23 minutes.
I'm not saying you had the same problem I did, but the log files on the client are a great place to confirm or disprove.
