I'm wondering if someone could have a look at this log file, and give me
an idea of what to do here.  Almost half of my backups are failing.  I
either get  "FAIL planner mur3.lb.backbone /usr 0 [Request to
mur3.lb.backbone timed out.]" on some partitions, or  "FAIL dumper
fido.lb.backbone /var/www 0 [/bin/tar returned 2]"  Why is amanda so
temperamental!!!!
