Hi, I have a weekly backup that backs-up the daily disk based backup to tape (daily's are a separate amanda config).
Occasionally on the weekly backup a DLE will fail to dump writing only a 32k header file before timing out. I can't seem to identify the error when looking in logging. Has anyone a few clues as to what to look for?

I thought it might help with time outs. Alas not. Kind regards, Tom
