Issue: amdump fails with sendbackup error "no backup size line" for a DLE.

Logs: Check sendbackup debug logs on the Amanda client. It is usually in /tmp/amanda/client/<amanda configuration>/ directory.

| ? gtar: /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/machinename_home_src_1.new: Missing record terminator
| ? gtar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
| sendbackup: error [no backup size line]

Causes

/var filesystem on Amanda client does not have free space
GNU tar state file /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/machinename_home_src_1.new is corrupted.

Solution

Create more space in /var filesystem if needed.
Force a full backup for the DLE.
