Sorry it's taken me a bit to get back -
I do not get an error - basically says that it runs both amdump and amflush. I've saved copies of both but I thought I originally put the amflush in the original email. Let me know if you need either or both. If I sign onto the server, run sudo to get to the user amandabackup then run amdump in the background, works exactly like it should, including full vs. incremental backups. Did you need more info? Thanks for all the attention!
