Hi, Rohit,

Ok.

Seems fine to me.

Yes, this should work.

Try and chown that windows directory to amanda or at least "chgrp
disk" it. Right now amanda can't do anything in there, and we should
eliminate the possibility of that being the problem.

How is your holdingdisk defined? /backup?
Then amanda could fall over the cruft in form of /backup/windows being
non-readable.

Mv the contents to maybe /backup/amanda_hold/<conf> and set your
holdingdisk to that. SO you my add another <conf>-subdir later for
another amanda-conf and the files won't get confused.

R> Here are the contents of amflush:

Hm, this all looks pretty fine. I can only compare it to my
tes-install right now which uses chg-disk and has nothing to flush
right now.

Please try to chown/chgrp that windows-dir or mv it out of the way.
