Hi all I note that a FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: occurred and I
assume that from the message at the bottom of the report that - file
changed as we read it has caused a FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP.

Have I got anything to worry about here!.

On the myserver machine, the file _.1.tmp: has changed while it was
getting saved.

and I have read that GNU tar is able to recover from this error.


These dumps were to tape MYDailySet109.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: MYDailySet110.
