Amanda backup problems

[James Marcinek]

Just to update this. I tried it again (choosing a different directory and in the
foreground). This is the current ps -ef |grep amanda:

amanda   30890 30809 76 17:13 pts/0    00:02:23 amflush -f normal
amanda   30891 30890  0 17:13 pts/0    00:00:00 driver normal nodump
amanda   30892 30891  0 17:13 pts/0    00:00:00 taper normal
amanda   30893 30892  0 17:13 pts/0    00:00:00 taper normal


In addition this is the current output from the job:

Flushing dumps in 20041207 to tape drive "/dev/nst0".
Expecting tape Normal20 or a new tape.  (The last dumps were to tape Normal19)
Are you sure you want to do this [yN]? y

I hope this sheds some lite on the matter
