Are you saying that you are able to successfully
backup the Netapp without using the modified dump
program & using Amanda version earlier than 2.4.4 ?

If you are successfully able to do so, can you send me
your disklist for the Netapp part so that I can
compare with mine ?

The modified dump program for Netapp works fine for
smaller directories. But I'm using DDS4 tapes (20Gb
uncompressed) & my filesystem on the Netapp is about
90 Gb, so usually backups for the directories on the
Netapp that are greater than 20 Gb fail.

Thanks,

Ashwin.
