When I get to this part :

su amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amdump DailySet1"

it seems to return quite quickly without any messages at all.


The normal way is to run "amcheck" first, fix everything
it complains about, before proceeding with a real amdump.

The error messages of amcheck are usually much less cryptic than
the other utilities.

If you got that far, and still have trouble, you can have a look
in /tmp/amanda, where each client has his logfiles.
And there is this mailing list, where you can post the exact
error messages you find.  Of course.
