Hi,
Amanda-2.5.2p1 on both the server (Debian/Etch) and client (irix-6.5.x).
In a amreport this morning I got a DLE with:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
yorick /data/nih/nih1 lev 0 FAILED [missing size line from sendbackup]
yorick /data/nih/nih1 lev 0 FAILED [missing size line from sendbackup]
The backup program (gnutar for this DLE) normally should have ended with
a last line indicating the total size of the backup. However, Amanda did
not find that line.
But because that does not mean that you want be able to do at least something
with the partial backup, Amanda did not discard the whole backup image.
(Also because, when e.g. dumping to tape, Amanda will not rewind and overwrite
an invalid backup image -- too difficult and maybe some intelligent human
can still do "something" with the partial backup.)
But Amanda still marks it "FAILED", and will try next time to make a decent
backup.

Checking what 'adadmin info' tells me for it:
amadmin left2 info yorick /data/nih/nih1
Current info for yorick /data/nih/nih1:

Note the date of the level 0! That is not the date of this morning.
The level 0 from this morning is not considered a valid level 0 by Amanda.
Seems good but trying to restore the image to disk with amfetchdump
fails with:
amfetchdump -p left2 yorick /data/nih/nih1 20080108 | tar -xpGf -
So you try to restore the one from this morning...
...
amfetchdump: 34: restoring split dumpfile: date 20080108 host yorick

amfetchdump: Search of av24-2_left2_U00041L3 complete

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
And, indeed, the backup image on this tape is a partial backup, that is
prematurely broken off.
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Any ideas?
Need to find out why it broke off.
Look on the client in the "sendbackup.DATETIME.debug" file
