Hi Martin

Thanks for this I am not really sure if you're saying that it has to
be recompiled on the main Amanda server? Also it sounds as if I do not
know my config that well - so will have to look at where the dump is
set for location at the moment.

TIA

it's not finding dump at that location. On Linux systems dump/restore
isn't always a good option as Linus thinks they are outdated and thus
doesn't make sure the filesystems are working with dump.

You might have to recompile with dump in the correct location, or use
tar sa the backup program (see the backup styles in amanda.conf on the
server). Again you have to compile with --tar= pointing to the correct spot.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.
