All the time, or just that night? If you want to force a specific host
for that night, you can do 'amadmin Config force host' -- look at the
amadmin man page for all the details. If all y

Tar stores all the directories first, so if you are impatient,
you might not wait around until the files start showing up :)

I have just upgraded Amanda from 2.4.1p1 go 2.4.2p2, and now Amanda
has started complaining about "could not access [...]" for two
partitions on the Amanda-server.
I have tried to add the advfs patch (ref.
http://www.mail-archive.com/amanda-users@amanda.org/msg11876.html>),
but that did not help.
