The 'program' listed was DUMP so I added program 'GNUTAR' to my disklist ... amadmin now says GNUTAR but the same error comes up in the report. Huh? Amdump still complains about /etc? Is amcheck still happy? What's in /tmp/amanda/sendsize*debug on the client? What version of GNU tar do you

I've just installed amanda for the first time. A test amdump gives me the foll owing report... FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: localhost/etc lev 0 FAILED [disk /etc offline on localhost?] First, I suggest using the real host name rather than "localhost". You'll be much happier

Hi - especially Chris Marble and John Jackson... What a wonderful thing sleep is... Based on various suggestions, I forced amanda to use GNUTAR. Running amcheck again, it complained about a non-existant directory (gnutar-lists) which I created amdump worked! Thanks Chris / John for responding
