I discovered I had ca. 200 hanging backup processes, like:
backup 3004 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Aug22 0:00
[amandad] <defunct>
backup 3034 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Aug22 0:00
[sendbackup] <defunct>
and one like this:
backup 23748 0.0 0.0 40184 128 ? Ss Aug19 1:00
amandad -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped
After killing them, the next backup round completed succesfully...
