I am backing up two boxes, the server and one client, both linux redhat 8.0 on the server and 7.3 on the client. don't seem to have a problem backing up, when I try running amrecover I get:
[root@tigger testrest]# amrecover -s garfield -C Daily-Backup-Set1 AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on garfield ... 220 garfield AMANDA index server (2.4.2p2) ready. 200 Access OK Setting restore date to today (2003-01-28) 200 Working date set to 2003-01-28. 200 Working date set to 2003-01-28. amrecover: Unexpected server end of file I've seen this is a common thing, usually solved very easily but I must be missing something. Browsing the groups I found much hope but no luck... I checked the following and all seems in order: ON SERVER: I have "index on" in amanda.conf (in define dumptype global) I have the appropriate xinetd files and they look right. I have an entry in .amandahosts for the client with user root ON THE CLIENT (hmm....) I su - root and issue the amrecover There is no firewalls between the two. I'm stomped, what am I missing? PLS Help! TIA Rick
