Check /tmp/amanda/sendbackup* logs on the client for more details.

 

Dump backups whole filesystems only. I think you should use tar. tar works with

subdirectories. You can include/exclude directories. Change dumptype entry in

disklist file to use tar.

I've set up amanda as best as I know how....

amcheck reports everything is OK.  Permissions, etc. all seem OK.

But when I try to run amdump I get:

FAIL dumper localhost /home/mysql 20051119 0 [/sbin/dump returned 1]
sendbackup: start [localhost:/home/mysql level 0]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/sbin/dump

INFO taper tape SeinerHome02 kb 0 fm 0 [OK]
FINISH driver date 20051119 time 81.367

Any ideas on where to start?  I don't want to clutter the list with
long files.... So where do I need to look?  Or what should I provide
to the list so you can advise?

Thanks,
