What I meant before the backup is that I ran amdump manually waited for about a minute because it does the estimated size, then I ran amstatus. Then I ran amstatus again when it finished I do have the email after the backup if you want to see that. But there should be at least 2 gigs of data if not more that it should be backing up from that host. I am using an SMB share to back this host up. And I get a lot of timeout errors maybe you have seen this before? I'll paste the output from the email below.

There you have it:

The estimate was easy, and said it would be about X Gbyte.
But doing the real backup, there were problems: "timeout errors", and
so that what resulted as backup was much less then promised.

Now just finding out what is the cause of those timeout errors.

FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:

And it seems to be smbclient problem.
