Hi,
Isn't the message it's giving clear enough?
you can not use dump to do incremental dumps of subdirectorys,
only from complete devices.
configure amanda to use tar and all will work.

 Hi,

Can someone point me in the right direction.

 In my disklist file I have this:

 dilmom2 /home/cvs always-full

amcheck runs ok

 But the amdump that runs overnight gives this:

/-- dilmom2 /home/cvs lev 0 FAILED [/sbin/dump returned 1]

 sendbackup: start [dilmom2:/home/cvs level 0]
 sendbackup: info BACKUP=/sbin/dump
 sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/sbin/restore -f... -
 sendbackup: info end
 | DUMP: You can't update the dumpdates file when dumping a subdirectory
 | DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
 sendbackup: error [/sbin/dump returned 1]
 \--------

Any advice greatly received

 The server is Amanda version 2.4.4p1 on RHEL3
 The client is Amanda version 2.4.2.p2-4 on RHEL2

Thanks Kevin
