So last night/this morning a backup was supposed to happen for all
the servers. Unfortunately, one of the clients never sent results
back, and this hung the whole process. When I checked at 8:30, the
dump process was *still* waiting for this single host to deliver
estimates. The estimates were all started at 12:30 AM, 8 hours
earlier.

My etimeout is set to 3200 (I have a few extremely sluggish hosts)
and the host in question has 4 disks. So the amanda server *should*
have timed out this host after about 3.5 hours and continued with
the backups from the other hosts. Any ideas on why it didn't time
out as it should have?
