Well, in this particular case it was because the system being backed up froze. (I think the motherboard is failing.) Usually when this happens it is not due to a crashed system. I see that the FreeBSD port for Amanda is still at 2.5.1 (I'm usually lazy and assume that if I'm up to date to the port I'm up to date with the software.) I'll see about getting the port upgraded to 2.6.0. Thanks for the help.
