I do have some things in different places. What files should be in /tmp/amanda? I already had a username of amanda at this location, so my AMANDA username is "backup" Here is my amcheck run:

I take that back, if amcheck said your client was ok you should have had files in /tmp/amanda at that point. Both amcheck and amdump should be causing files to be created on the client. You sure the client passed the check ? The rest of this email may not be relevant. Haven't a lot of experience in, er, xinetd ?, must be linux ? Can comment but can tell you that in IRIX and Solaris if my amanda user on the client wasn't in the correct group I needed to fix the group and/or devices files /dev/dsk/* to allow RW for the amanda user's group. Suspect you have some similar issue there. > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Cuttler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 4:31 PM > To: LaValley, Brian E > Cc: 'amanda-users@amanda.org' > Subject: Re: all estimate failed > > > > Brian, > > You said manual dump, the amcheck succeeded ? > > Did you find any files in the client's /tmp/amanda/ directory ? > Do you see any errors in /var/adm/{messages|SYSLOG} ? > The client's xinetd files are properly configured to activate > the service ?
