I've checked the log file, I think I've got the estimates, but the
dump does not seem to have started flowing for this DLE.

The other DLE's on the same server got backed up OK but were very
small in comparison.

I have looked at all the debug files on "sol" and could not find any
sort of error. Where shoould I look ? On the server ? On the client ?

On the server, in the log file, I have:

FAIL dumper sol /disk1 20050816 1 [mesg read: Connection timed out]
  sendbackup: start [sol:/disk1 level 1]
  sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/local/bin/tar
  sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/local/bin/tar -f... -
  sendbackup: info end

I don't even have the [sec ... ] info so I can't determine approc WHEN
it happened
