Amanda users,
I recalled the magic.
I had multiple DLE defined in the disklist, one with the 'correct'
dumptype and the rest not. I thought I could invoke # amcheck on
the single DLE to verify the config, this is NOT the case, the other
DLE for the same host with different/competing dumptypes causing
the problem.
When I commented out the other DLE and corrected amanda.conf auto
to be "bsd" (not "bsdtcp) # amcheck ran correctly.
I will not update the DLE in the disklist, remove comment field and
update dumptype.
thank you,
Brian
