Is there a script that can be triggered to run on a client before the dump
starts?
Also, on our mailserver, we want to shutdown sendmail and pop/imap while the
dump is running - otherwise we get errors since the filesystem is changing.
How are other Amanda users addressing this problem?
Thanks,

Would anyone be willing to post client binaries for Cygwin Windows XP
and Mac OS X 10.2?
I understand both have been ported and I don't think I have the

Hi!
my amanda works reasonably well under FreeBSD, but when trying to backup
RedHat, I get the message dump larger than tape, skipping incremental.
though I'm quite sure the 128MB on this disk would fit onto my 100GB
ultrium tapes.

Hi,
is there any known method to encrypt the data, before writing it to
tape? I thought of something like gpg -c which does a symmetric
encryption, but if I do this then I won't be able to use amrecover any
more. Has anyone a good idea for this

You *could* wrap tar with a script that looked at how it was called and
did stuff depedning on that, but there's an easier way (albeit less fine
grained).

My problems went away when i upgraded from 2.4.3b3 to 2.4.4; The only
thing that doesn't seem to work well is the 'excludes' directive in the
disklist file. Otherwise than that seems than the backup is doing fine:

Just a wild thought, but Redhat tends to install a firewall by default, this
isn't blocking things is it?

Regarding the time outs, look in the logs on the client, for

amrecover does the pipe to tar for you, and thus does the preservation.

Oh, my bad. I'm sorry for asking a slightly wrong question.
I am using smbmount for the backup. There's no notion of multiple
machines here, just one. The backup server mounts folders on client
and performs the backup as a local folder.
smbmount requires the mount-er to be root (unless setuid,
