The backup size for a DLE is the same regardless of the backup level.


;Logs : Look at the gnutar-lists directory in the client. All the files had ".new" suffix.
{{Troubleshooting Solution}}
 
Set the ''record'' value to the ''yes'' in the dumptype definition in [[amanda.conf]]. This will cause the backup program to record the information in /etc/dumpdates or /etc/amandates files on the client, allowing incremental backups to be made.
;Cause : One of the possible reasons can be
 
* Check if the ''record'' value in the dumptype for the DLE is set to ''yes'' (See [[amanda.conf]])
 
; Solution :
 
* Set the ''record'' value to the ''yes'' in the dumptype definition in [[amanda.conf]]. This will cause the backup program: dump or GNU tar, to record the information in /etc/dumpdates or /etc/amandates files on the client.
