Can I allow amanda backup server to talk through firewall for accessing amanda client host, Is there any way out
The general answer is to recompile amanda with a dedicated portrange and open those ports in the firewall. See the explanation in docs/PORT.USAGE .
If the firewall is running Linux, it could be as easy as loading the amanda netfilter modules "ip_conntrack_amanda" and maybe "ip_nat_amanda".
Beware of 2.6.6rc2 kernel that are reported to give some trouble: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg26094.html I've not yet verified this.
Just a quick note here.. the actual change that broke it were between 2.6.6-rc1 and 2.6.6-rc2. 2.6.7 still mess things up for me if I load the amanda nat modules.
It seems this might be fixed now, I noticed that some changes were commited to 2.6.8-rc1 regarding the amanda conntrack stuff. So i searched the devel archives for netfilter and came up with this.

Haven't tried it but I think that it fixes the problem introduced between 2.6.6-rc1 and 2.6.6-rc2.
