New question: There are many debug files here. When things are all working
fine, do people usually turn off debugging so this enormous number of files
aren't created any more? How do you do that?  Or does everyone just not
worry about it?

On a server I have with *lots* of DLEs that get backed up, /tmp/amanda is 13MB. I don't worry about it.



I daily run a script that creates a 'dated' subdirectory,
moves that days files to the subdir,
and removes the 7th oldest subdir.

Amanda will clean up the debug directory itself, and uses the
compiletime parameter AMANDA_DEBUG_DAYS for this. It defaults to 4 days.

See "amadmin xx version | grep AMANDA_DEBUG_DAYS" for your amandaserver or in amandad.<datetime>.debug for the client definition.

Don't turn off debugging, it's for the rare cases where you don't know
what went wrong, that you need the details.  The files are normally not
very large.
