It's been a while since I set up amanda. I didn't make any changes in
amanda.conf.
The only relevant line that I see in that file references
dumptypes.conf.
I think what you're telling me is that I should have used comp-root-
tar, which uses
guntar, instead of comp-root.
The .rig* file that I sent was the only thing in /tmp. There are no
other log files on the client
that I can see.
I'll make the dumptype change to disklist and see what happens
tonight. I don't know how to answer your
last question. How would I be able to tell?

Myron,
You made all necesary changes to amanda.conf to allow for a
gtar based dumper ? (there being no such things and zfsdump
as an analog to ufsdump).
What do the /tmp/amanda logs on the client tell you, are you
getting through the estimate phase and failing the actual
sendfile phase ?

I added a new client to amanda and it won't back up. I don't add
clients often, but I think I
got everything right. I have a feeling this is because the filesystem
is zfs--my first--everything
else I back up is ufs. I'm going to put a ufs filesystem on the
client
today and see if that backs
up tonight, just to make sure the client isn't really the problem.
I included all the relevant information in the hope that someone can
spot something.
