yes - that's right. the slow part is your computer compressing the data. The
offline message is a yet to be crafted question for this list - amanda
isn't backing up the reiserfs partition on one of the machines. The drive is
a SDLT110, there are 3 servers, and a dedicated 40G holding disk. After

the same problem. Thought it might have been related to 1 very
large, recently saved file (1.3G), but made it much smaller (400M) and it's
still happening.
Anything I can check for? Is there anyway I can identify where on the disk
it's failing, and try removing that file?
Thanks,

root the backup user permission to execute the file, and set the
setuid bit, which means (i think) that if a user in the backupser group
executes the file they will execute it as if they were root.
And this works, and i'm a much happier admin :o)

just a thought, that may not be the answer...
try setting your chunksize to something like 1Gb (or 200M, if that works for
you). This means that if it's backing up 2.5G, no individual file in the
holding disk area will be bigger than that chunksize. We needed it because
our backup was trying to
