Here's the version of amanda on both the client and the server: Client amanda version: rpm -qa |grep amanda amanda-client-2.4.2p2-4 amanda-2.4.2p2-4
Server amanda version: rpm -qa |grep amanda amanda-server-2.4.3-4 amanda-2.4.3-4 amanda-client-2.4.3-4 As I mentioned in my previous reply, the client is running Red Hat Workstation 2.1 and the server is running Red Hat 9. I would like to use the directory method versus device; I would appreciate an example or excert of one to verify that I've set the definitions properly. I also looked at the debug logs on the client and the same indications are present. thanks for the help everyone!
