Greetings all;

I am getting this error for the last 3 days:

FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY:
  coyote /home/gene/Pictures date 20201104020105 lev 0  partial taper: 
source server crc (79fec0fd:11146383360) and input server crc 
(7bcd2c6c:11146383360) differ)

And that particular backup is missing from the done list in the email 
from amanda.
Looking in /sdb/dumps/ (its a terrabyte of spinning rust) I see
root@coyote:Daily$ ls -lR /sdb/dumps
/sdb/dumps:

IOW not quite 11 gigabytes
How should I go about troubleshooting this?
On the first error I looked that tree over and found some iffy file names 
and nuked the trash.

An ls -lR |wc -l on that path says only 5406 files.
Or should I nuke this and see what happens next run?

An attempt to flush paused for 30 seconds and returned this:
root@coyote:GenesAmandaHelper-0.61$ su amanda -c "./flush.sh Daily"
configuration error - unknown item 'ALWAYS_SET_PATH' (notify 
administrator) (error has been there for a couple years)

That ALWAYS_SET_PATH squawk has been there since I installed stretch, and 
is NOT part of my configs or scripts else it would have been fixed yonks 
ago.

Thanks folks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
