Yes tsslin1 is a linux machine and no there was no finishing line on
sendbackup, but I have another linux machine that is working fine with
the same version of amanda client on it. What do you mean by ext2/3 ?

Hi,
That is all what your sendbackup.debug file contains?
no line telling dump reached 100% ?
and no finishing line from sendbackup?
Then your dump-process is dying whitout message after 43.03% of the
Backup.
am i correct that this is a linux-box?
then i would recomend switching to tar for the backup's, as dump for
ext2/3 is known to be problematic with active (mounted) filesystems.
