Hi all I have just been asked to add our email server to our Amanda server backup.
I have installed the Amanda version 2.4.4p2 rpm using SuSE SLES 9 Yast2 and added the email server to disklist as below: #/etc/amanda/DailySet1/disklist file: # hostname diskname or mountpoint dumptype # mounted as. myserver.co.co.uk / root-tar # backup all myservers / and sub directories (This works) emailserver.co.co.uk / root-tar # backup email servers / and sub directories. or have I for the emailserver list all the local dir after / i.e emailserver.co.co.uk /usr root-tar #/usr dir emailserver.co.co.uk /local root-tar #/local dir Thus enabled xinetd amanda, amadaidx and amidxtape. Thus checked that the emailserver can participate with the amanda backup server over the network exspecailly the amanda client utility amanda. amanda 10080/tcp # Amanda amanda 10080/udp # Amanda amandaidx 10082/tcp amidxtape 10083/tcp I have run amcheck and I get this error have I missed anything.
