I wrote to this list once about my problem, but got no reply. I think I better explain some more. I have a redhat linux 9 machine running amanda server to backup some folders of its all and backup some folders of another client amanda machine running fedora Core 2. I have 2 configs setup on the server machine, one daily config (6 days/week, Tuesday will not use this config) which is running incremental backup, anothe config run weekly(on Tuesday) runs full backup. Everything from the server itself running correctly. Folders from the client machine are the one having problem. The size backup keeps growing even after the day running full backup. Any idea?

In the daily set (incremental backup) I have
   dumpcycle 7 days
   runspercycle 6

   define dumptype incremental {
      hard-disk-tar
      index yes
      record yes
      strategy nofull
   }

In the Weekly set (full backup) I have
   dumpcycle 0 days
   runspercycle 1

   define dumptype always-full {
      hard-disk-tar
      index yes
      record yes
   }

I think my setup is correct since backup locally is running fine, but not the one from eth0

dailyset disklist is

server1 /Shared incremental local # this is running fine client1 /Mail incremental eth0 # this has problem

Also, I let cron job call amanda functions.

Thanks
