What software are you using for your backup?  (You didn't day, but it 
smells like dump, and dump expects either a device name for a partition 
or the top-level directory holding a partition.)  With this DLE being the 
directory above two mount points (sdb1 and sdb2), dump may be confused.

Try splitting this DLE into two entries, one for each mounted file system
and see if that improves things.

Other than that, I can't see anything particularly wrong with your example
(unless these filesystems are mounted over NFS and root is not mapped 
correctly).

Good luck,

Don

Hey guys, I've spent the last few days searching for answers on the web 
with no luck....

basically, I think I have amanda up and running. Now when amdump starts, 
it fails to get to the device I want to backup(which is on the local 
machine also). I do have both a client and server running on this same 
machine. And just for test purposes, I'm running amanda as root.

here is the report I get...

*These dumps were to tape DailySet101.
*

*The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

(brought to you by Amanda version 2.4.3)

*Any ideas what I might be doign wrong when I'm trying to access the
directory I want to backup? The /backups directory consists of two seperatte
directories which are both stored on their own partitions(sdb1 and sdb2).

Anyone have any ideas?

Paul
