Hi there,

I'm new to Amanda and am trying to get a disk-to-disk backup going. When I run amcheck, everything seems fine. Then, when I run amdump, nothing ever gets written to disk (virtual tape). The amanda log file shows:

SUCCESS taper [hostname] /export/backup 20071126 0 [sec 188.985 kb 0 kps 0.0 {wr: writers 0 rdwait 188.984 wrwait 0.000 filemark 0.000}] INFO driver [hostname] /export/backup 0 [dump to tape failed, will try again]
What's the dumper result for the disk?
