Is it normal for a DLE listed as "failed" under
"FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:" to still be taped?

I'm having different DLE's exhibit failure, perhaps
three times a week.  Reasons are not always timeout
like the one shown below.  But one thing struck me
about most of them, the detailed report for the
DLE still showed a lot of data dumped and taped;
in some cases enough to seem to be all that I'd expect.

I don't remember in my old installation having a dump
fail while in progress, so perhaps I'm seeing normal
behavior and never experienced it before.

Here is the one from last night.  It is an indirect
windows client.  But I've had similar results from
direct Solaris and linux clients too, including the
amanda host.  I don't think they were all data timeouts,
but I'd have to go back and check.
