I have been able to backup one of our WinNT servers, server1, with
amanda without problems. But, when I add a second WinNT server, server2,
sendsize never finishes. /tmp/amanda/sendsize.20050520190001.debug shows
the server1 DLE estimates finishing normally, but server2 starts out
like this:
.....

....
and goes on like that until the / partition is full. This has happened
twice with the sendsize.<date-stamp>.debug file growing to 14GB. For
tonight's run I've commented out the C$ share in disklist and will try
another share on the same server to see if it is specific to the share,
or a more general problem with this server.

The backup server is a debian sarge gnu/linux with amanda 2.4.4p3-2 and
samba 3.0.14a-1. I believe I have amanda configured correctly as I am
able to back up the other WinNT server without issues. My amanda server
is also the smbclient host.
