This might be more appropriate to amanda-users@amanda.org mailinglist. Anyway, I think there are many possible reasons for this error, but since you didn't give any more information and asked for *any* experience I think my experience qualifies. A month or so ago I started getting these errors on one client, but backups seemed to work fine. I investigated and found out that one partition on this client had accumulated so much data that it didn't fit to the holding disk. So sendbackup started dumping it to the holding disk, and before it got done the holding disk became full, causing the "index tee cannot write" error message on the client. Sendbackup noticed this and started over with this partition, this time dumping directly to tape. The end result is that backup takes somewhat longer (because this big partition is dumped "almost" twice) but eventually everything is OK. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * How much net work could a network work, if a network could net work?
