Wells" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Amanda - FORMAT ERROR IN REQUEST PACKET Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have received this error while attempting to run Amanda. Amanda seems to run OK with dump. Amanda generates errors when using either gnutar 1.11 (comes with FreeBSD) or gnutar 1.13. Anyone else seen weirdness using gnutar with amanda on FreeBSD? I would like to stick with gnutar for doing my amanda backups as I am more familiar with it and it has nice "exclude" functionality for not backing up live databases. Can dump be made to exclude a directory? I haven't read anything that says it can. Thank you, Jason C.
