I've been successful so far setting up Amanda to back up my hosts inside my firewall, where my tapeserver is also located. Now, I'm trying to set it up to also backup the hosts outside the firewall.
Unfortunately, I don't control the firewall, I have to just tell the folks who do exactly what I need. So far, I've told them I need the following ports opened: 10080/udp 10082/tcp 10083/tcp I just noticed that, while these are the ports listed in the INSTALL document, the patch-system actually put these lines in my /etc/services (client only; no tape server): www:/tmp/amanda # grep amanda /etc/services amanda 10080/udp amanda 10080/tcp kamanda 10081/udp amandaidx 10082/tcp Is there a misprint in the INSTALL document? Should I also asked the firewall group to open port 10080/tcp? If anyone's ever done this (specify the firewall settings needed by amanda), could you let me know what you requested?
