Hi everyone,

ok.  The data is being sent to the server from the cygwin box but the
index file is empty.

The only thing that is showing any indication of a problem in in the
sendbackup log. which is reflected in the mail message below. I'm sure
that sed and tar (I'm using the latest version) are ok.


-rw-------    1 backup   backup         20 Jul  1 16:17 20030701_0.gz
-rw-------    1 backup   backup         20 Jul  1 16:40 20030701_1.gz
-rw-------    1 backup   backup         20 Jul  2 11:37 20030702_0.gz


Error reported for mail.

The dumptype used is as follows.

define dumptype comp-user-tar {
   program "GNUTAR"
   comment "partitions dumped with tar"
   options compress-fast, index, exclude-list "/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar"
   priority medium
}

Does anyone have and idea about how I can troubleshoot this problem.
I've looked throught the faq-o-matic and searched through amanda-users.

Many thanks

Michael.
