Problem after years of backing up successful: "data timeout"

Hi.

All over sudden I get a "data timeout", e.g.:

  ...
  ...
  adminserver /var lev 0 FAILED [data timeout]
  adminserver /home lev 3 FAILED [data timeout]
  ...
  ...

I havent changed a thing on the machines involved for
a while (I work on the basic principle "if aint broken, dont fix")


Now I have searched the net and found a few pointers,
but all those I found do not help:

 * I do not use compression (I use hardware compression)

 * its NOT backing up another host, its the LOCAL machine
   backing up itself, and I have never had any problems with this

 * the dtimeout already is 1800

 * since the last reboot of the machine I have done
   lots of successfull backups.

 * I havent installed anything new for a while on that machine.

 * I havent hanged anything (xinet, hosts.allow, .amandahost, directories,
   amanda, whatever).
   

Looking at the "sendbackup.XXXX.debug I can see the following message:

  ...
  index tee cannot write [Broken pipe]
  ...

The index file for the latest ones are missing, that is correct.


I checked all the permissions on the "amanda" based directories, and they
look fine to me.


What can be the cause for the errors popping up?
