Hi Vicki,
I'm not sure about why the file's there, but the timestamp on the end of
that file seems very old (21 Dec 2004). Is it possible that file was
left over from a previous test of disk-tapes?
Thanks,

Subject: huge file showing up
I have noticed that two large files which are of type GNU tar archive
and named in the format: hostname._net_hostname_home_user.20041221.2
(exactly matches an entry in disklist except that the slashes in the
path are now underscores and the date and another number are appended)
I assume that Amanda is creating these files, and that I just don't
completely understand the process. My backups which begin at 2:00 AM are
still running when I get here at 8:30. They used to finish much earlier
(like 5:00 or so). I looked through the faq on amanda.org and didn't see
anything about this. Maybe there is a step by step explanation of the
process amanda goes through somewhere?
Thanks,
Vicki
