Hi All! After much work and great assistance from others on this board, I finally got the software installed with a 'tapeless configuration' (writing to the harddisk) and am now trying to run a dump.
I am getting an error during the dump that I am hoping someone else has seen and can point me in the right direction towards resolving. In my log file I have the following messages: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/amanda/client/DailySet3# vi sendsize.20070530055523.debug reading sendsize.20070530055523.debug sendsize: debug 1 pid 30818 ruid 1002 euid 1002: start at Wed May 30 05:55:23 2007 sendsize: version 2.5.2 Could not open conf file "/usr/local/amanda_2.5.2/etc/amanda/amanda-client.co nf": No such file or directory Could not open conf file "/usr/local/amanda_2.5.2/etc/amanda/DailySet3/amanda -client.conf": No such file or directory sendsize: debug 1 pid 30818 ruid 1002 euid 1002: rename at Wed May 30 05:55:2 3 2007 sendsize[30823]: time 0.005: calculating for amname /etc, dirname /etc, spind le -1 sendsize[30823]: time 0.006: getting size via dump for /etc level 0 sendsize[30823]: time 0.007: calculating for device /etc with sendsize[30823]: time 0.007: running "/usr/sbin/backup 0sf 1048576 - /etc" sendsize[30823]: time 0.010: running /usr/local/amanda_2.5.2/libexec/killpgrp sendsize[30818]: time 0.010: waiting for any estimate child: 1 running sendsize[30823]: time 0.044: backup: Extra argument.

It seems to me that the problem lies within these few lines: sendsize[30823]: time 0.007: running "/usr/sbin/backup 0sf 1048576 - /etc" sendsize[30823]: time 0.010: running /usr/local/amanda_2.5.2/libexec/killpgrp sendsize[30818]: time 0.010: waiting for any estimate child: 1 running sendsize[30823]: time 0.044: backup: Extra argument. Try backup --help for mo re info. Does anyone know what these messages are caused by and how to correct them? Or see anything else that is causing my dump to error out that I'm missing?? Thanks in advance for your time and help! It is greatly appreciated!! -jg
