Caution: Do not directly delete or change any of these files or directories unless directed to do so by the Zmanda Support Team. Changing any of these files directly can result in failed backups and other problems. Note: You should monitor free space availability in /tmp, /etc/amanda and /opt/zmanda/amanda directories. Amanda stores the backup index, Zmanda Management Console database and temporary files in these locations, and thus these directories can fill up over time. Lack of space in these directories can affect Amanda functionality and performance.
