Don't think this causes any problems, but why the trailing / in /var/www/?
It doesn't appear in the other entry.

You omitted the section where the "taper" report is located (is that notes?).
Did it actually fill the tape, possibly after writing lots of other DLE's
and not having sufficient space left for either of these two entries?
At least, not the one it tried.

This concerns me, a new disk /var/www/ ?
Weren't you already backing up that partition?
Perhaps before it did not have the traiing / ?
When it was not getting backed up (prior to last
evening) was it giving "offline" errors too. You
may have multiple problems, the need to split and
network connectivity. Did you make a teeny tiny
configuration change about 10 days to 2 weeks ago
that couldn't have possibly affected amanda but did?
