Please, help a newbie in amanda. I have amanda up and running backups from several machines on my network. Amanda version is 2.4.5 for both server and clients. The server
runs Linux 2.6.9-1. Everything runs fine, except from one machine. The mail report says: ======================== FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: matriz /desenv/root/intelc lev 0 FAILED [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz /desenv/root/desenv lev 0 FAILED [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz /root/Thinstation-2.1 lev 0 FAILED [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz /mnt/padrao-rtpn.wrap lev 0 FAILED [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz /mnt/padrao-rtpn.syn lev 0 FAILED [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz /mnt/padrao-rtpn lev 0 FAILED [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz /mnt/padrao-flashrepetidoras lev 0 FAILED [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz /mnt/flash-repetidoras lev 0 FAILED [Request to matriz timed out.] ======================== The amstatus command says: ======================== kompressor:/usr/local/etc 0 50k finished (16:17:12) kompressor:/usr/sbin 0 8106k finished (16:17:37) matriz:/desenv/root/desenv 0 planner: [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz:/desenv/root/intelc 0 planner: [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz:/mnt/flash-repetidoras 0 planner: [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz:/mnt/padrao-flashrepetidoras 0 planner: [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz:/mnt/padrao-rtpn 0 planner: [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz:/mnt/padrao-rtpn.syn 0 planner: [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz:/mnt/padrao-rtpn.wrap 0 planner: [Request to matriz timed out.] matriz:/root/Thinstation-2.1 0 planner: [Request to matriz timed out.] monitor:/root/desenv 0 748k finished (16:17:15) monitor:/root/tar 0 141550k finished (16:25:38) monitor:/usr/local/apache/conf 0 70k finished (16:17:07) ======================== Looks like the host 'matriz' is down, but...
