here's the send sizesize log. To me it appears that it is just taking
that long to create the tar..... ???
thanks for your response :).

One of our amanda clients takes an incredibly long time to do estimates
(17000seconds on a level 0, which is about 210GB), and causes the server
to return a estimate timeout error. Seems to be mainly when it tries to
do a level 0 backup. the server that takes this amount of time is
accessed through a firewall.
Check the /tmp/amanda/sendsize* logs for any reasons why it is taking
too long.
You can try running the tar (I'm assuming that you are using tar not
dump) command
manually.
Is that a typical amount of time, or is something taking WAY too long?
Should I just increase the etimeout in amanda.conf to facilitate the
17000 seconds ?
You could also change "estimate" value to "calcsize" or "server" for
faster estimates (estimates will be less accurate).
See
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Amdump:_results_missing#Timeout_during_estimate.3F
for more information.
Thanks,
Paddy
