Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I'd first like to thank everyone for their help with my SCSI tape question. Turns out the drive was working fine the whole time... here's the deal: I'm using Amanda 2.3.0 to backup the FreeBSD servers on my WAN. Things stopped working at one point so I thought the drive had died on me... ruled that out after a while. So... I started backing up each system individually (by modifying the 'disklist' file and restarting the amanda dump. A pattern quickly emerged (OK, it took hours, but...) Whenever I use Amanda to backup another server on my LAN the backup server locks up. No problems backing up servers from the WAN. Anyone have a guess on this one? -Steve
