Michael, This first thing I would do is double-check the permissions on your NT box.. make sure that the computer is actually sharing the folder you wish to backup, and that your backup server is allowed to "see" it. A good test of this would be to try to connect to that share using smbclient.. if you can't do that, you can be assured that Amanda can't either. ;)

That's my main suspicion at this > point. Yes. Let me be clear.. this backup server worked juuuust fine for backing up its local disks, as well as a remote linux machine - This machine has been restarted probably ten times during the course of this dialogue and I've manually restarted inetd.conf plenty myself as well ;) Here's proof! backup:~# netstat -na |grep 1008 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10083 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10082 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10080 0.0.0.0:* To reiterate the situation: Backup machine w/ a tape drive, holding disk, and samba, is trying to back up a linux machine and an NT share on a separate computer. - The linux backup works just fine - The NT share is what is screwing up amcheck (or so goes my theory) - I can paste in my amandapass and amanda.conf and disklist files again if you'd like, but they haven't changed since my original 'help!' email to the list. - if I remove the NT share disklist entry (the entry is: backup //ntserver/sys/users nt-comp where nt-comp is a dumptype I made that is 'user-tar' and 'compress server fast') then the backup of the linux machine and amcheck goes off without a hitch. - if I leave it in, the tape server check takes 20 seconds and complains about nothing.. then there's a 15 second wait and I get the 'selfcheck request timed out. Host down?'. Do I have to mount the //ntserver/sys share first? -- Is it Good and OK to pass a subdirectory to the path to mount, or...? > Do any other files get created in /tmp/amanda on backup when you try to > run amcheck? There should be a amandad*debug and a selfcheck*debug, if > all is going well. No. There is ONLY the one file that I pasted into the last email to the list.. it is /tmp/amanda/amcheck.{timestamp}.debug and it looks like this: amcheck: debug 1 pid 619 ruid 34 euid 0 start time Thu Oct 4 15:24 :37 2001 amcheck: dgram_bind: sofket bound to 0.0.0.0.1008 amcheck: pid 619 finish time Thu Oct 4 15:25:07 2001 Again, many thanks for continued support, Michael Blinn People Places, Inc.
