Greetings all,

In experimenting with AMANDA I've been running into a problem where I'll start a backup, everything will go swimmingly, and sometime down the line, the backup is stopped, and no AMANDA processes are running. No failure report is sent, the backup just stops. When I run a manual amreport, there is a suspicious message "taper: Received signal 1". This error does not happen all the time. In this case, I had blown away all the log, index and gnutar-lists files to try to start afresh. Any ideas what maybe causing this?

My amanda system:

Ubuntu 7.10 server install
Amanda 2.5.2p1
GNU Tar 1.18
IBM LTO-3 drive
netapp filer nfs mounted. network: gig-e, MTU9000, rsize and wsize both 32768

I've attached the amreport results and the taper debug file.

Thanks for your help!

Jordan
