Hi All!

After much work and great assistance from others on this
board, I finally got the software installed with a
'tapeless configuration' (writing to the harddisk) and am
now trying to run a dump.

I am getting an error during the dump that I am hoping
someone else has seen and can point me in the right
direction towards resolving.

In my log file I have the following messages:

root@melbourne:/tmp/amanda/client/DailySet3# vi

It seems to me that the problem lies within these few
lines:
sendsize[30823]: time 0.007: running "/usr/sbin/backup 0sf
1048576 - /etc"
sendsize[30823]: time 0.010: running

child: 1 running
sendsize[30823]: time 0.044: backup: Extra argument. Try
backup --help for mo
re info.

Does anyone know what these messages are caused by and how
to correct them?  Or see anything else that is causing my
dump to error out that I'm missing??

Thanks in advance for your time and help! It is greatly
appreciated!!
