Did it again tonight. On a different DLE that it says it successfully retried. And the saved amstatus is only 44 bytes, same as he previous 3 failures. 'Using: /usr/local/var/amanda/Daily/amdump.1' Where its normally over 10k bytes. Nuked the leftover dump in /sdb/dumps, and reran the wrapper. And its like that sending this email will generate another file removed before we read it error. Copyright 2019 by Maurice E.
