I should probably point out that ALL my problems with bad crc's of the holding disk files went away when I replaced the holding disk, which was apparently an SMR disk, with an SSD of 1/4 the size of the spinning rust disk. And my backup times to get all 6 machines were sped up from around two hours to under 30 minutes. All by the non-SMR, SSD holding disk. So at the very least, I can sure recommend an SSD as a holding disk. It has been so successful and error free over the last 6 months, that I have installed, but not yet built for use, 4 1T samsung EVO-870 SSD's on another cheap non-raid controller, adding 6 more sata-III ports, which I intend to build a raid 10 out of, and use for the /home partition if and when I install debian 11. Probably when debian announces 11.3 as that should be time enough to fix any new bullseye version bugs. Will that find something not compatible with amanda 3.5.1? Copyright 2021 by Maurice E.
