Hi,
I have a running 2.4 environment and just joined a Debian testing
machine to that park. This new machine comes with Amanda 2.5.1.
When I try to backup this machine using my standard backup configuration
(including the option "exclude list optional ".amanda.excludes"")
everything screws up.
The backup never finishes (waited about two days wondering) and the on
client the tmp directory (/tmp/amanda) fills up with files (hundreds of
them) like:
/tmp/amanda/sendbackup_$DLE_$TIMESTAMP

These files all contain the same information, the optional exclude list
for the particular dle. Nothing else. A new file is are created about
every five minutes.

Are there any known incompatibilities?


Cheers
Nicki
