No, it ceases to write to the 'tape' after 3402, I think. Yes, 3402 worked, 3411 failed. See my previous reply where the 3 amgetconf lines were asked about. I read ChangeLogs, and this is the first I'd heard of those 3 new variables. This stuff belongs in the ChangeLog! With a line saying new amanda.conf vars, listing them comma separated. That would have been trigger enough to go read the man page. dumps has been moved to a much larger playground, and 3427 installed just to check my theory that zero detection is thwarted by a holding disk smaller than the vtape. Ergo no flush by taper. Even when amflush is called by hand. Also, a separate squawk, starting at about svn3388 I think, the emailed report is suddenly being spammed by a hundred lines or so of stuff about in- accessible sockets and such in /home/gene/tmp, which contains other stuff I would rather were included in the backups. But that's a different problem. Sorry if I come across a bit grouchy, I've been taking antibiotics for a strep throat the last few days. And I'm about worn out trying to get this place put back together for the winter after a 112 mph wind came through the neighborhood on June 24th, demolishing or uprooting most of the trees. We lost 3 of 4 40 year old pines, the roof, parts of the back porch and all the privacy fencing. Amazingly a 60 foot pin oak in the front yard stood. The replacement fencing I built post hole by post hole and screw by screw, and it can be seen at <http://gene.homelinux.net:85/gene/fence> I'll be 76 in another few days, and folks keep telling me I should retire. I keep trying to, but such as this gets in the way... The bottom of my fishing boat hasn't been wet since summer 2009. And right now I am working on its shed, which although tattered, didn't blow away in the wind as it was below the house on the lee side. Pix in the camera I'll put up when I'm done with that. I used to have a life, but its about used up I think. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
