1. take your Replyto: back out of your headers so I can reply to the list. To reply to the list I have to do a reply all, then swap the To: and CC: lines in kmail. Or just delete your .at address, so only the list gets a copy. 2. my scripts are exclusively bash. I use no perl, but amanda does. So IMO a perl update ought to have broken every amanda that is being kept up to date. 3. it seems to only happen when it runs out of days to do the biggest DLE's which runs over to the second tape, so as an experiment I doubled the size of a vtape 2 days ago and changed the priority order from a string of BT's to a string of SBT's. That does not seem to have effected the average backup size. But it also has not yet hit again, the end of a runcycle where it has to do a whole pile of big DLE's resulting in the use of two tapes. In this case the crc's in the holding disk differ and it fails when using the second tape. My script needs help in that event as I wrote it in 2004 and haven't touched it since, so I'm trying to run down the conditions which trigger the fault. The finger of meager evidence I have is that it seems to occur on 2 tape nights. So now we wait for what would have been a two tape night. Take care Stefan, and stay well. Betsol is so far, all hat and no cattle, and this users list needs all the help it can get. I thank you for the suggestion, a lot. Copyright 2019 by Maurice E.
