Yeah, yeah. We've heard all that before :-). >The funny part is this: amdump works fine and runs nightly! It backs-up the >server, even tho amcheck says it's down. Amcheck and amdump (dumper) use **exactly** the same access mechanisms to the clients. So you're clearly just imagining this. It can't be happening :-). When you run amcheck, does a new /tmp/amanda/amandad*debug file get created (or the existing one updated)? What's in it? In particular, what are the stop and start times (first and last lines)? Ditto for selfcheck*debug. >... I doubled the >etimeout from 300 to 600, but amcheck still times out. That makes sense. Etimeout is for estimates done during amdump. You want to crank up ctimeout (for "check timeout"). >Brad John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
