I hope somebody can help me. Since already some time, most backups fail, mostly on one item "/usr" with the message that the estimate timed out. Only once in a while (1 out of 10), this failure does not occur and the backup completes normally. This sounds to me that in principal all conf files are ok, but somewhere it still goes wrong.
I am running amanda for years now, and I have not kept all log files, but the problem, in my remembrance, started to appear many months ago but because from time to time, everything goes well, it did not bother me too much. But recently, a few more timeouts occur on other DLEs (if that is the name?), even on /usr/local, which is only 200Mb in total! I have doubled the etimeout variable 3 times (etimeout is now 4800), but that does not help. Amanda produces many log files and I miss the expertise to understand them really. I attach the short log file which comes at the end of a backup (which has incidentally more timeouts as usual). Any ideas are welcome.
