Another item I have noted since my local network includes some arm stuff, 
like an rpi-3b, & a rock64: something in the debian amanda-common, or in 
amanda-client, from the debian/raspbian/armbian repos, crashes an arm64 
client, but works well on armhf clients. An arm64 install on either a 
rock64, or an rpi-3b, crashes about 2 to 3 minutes after the session 
starts.  Hard crash, needs a power down reboot.  The crash, and 
subsequent reboot leaves no hints in the amanda logs kept on the crashed 
machine but does leave a core dump occasionally. And I don't know enough 
about gdb to attempt a diagnosis.

Debian-arm isn't rpi-4 compatible yet, likely not before bullseye.

Something that ought to be looked at.
