Thanks Stefan, I do have iptables running on the client since it is my
firewall machine. It is currently set to allow all connections from the
internal network to the fw though. There is always a chance that I have
mangled something there though :-). I will check out the article you cited
below.
Monitoring the fw logs I see connections from the backup server to the fw on
10080 being accepted. However on the fw machine in the amanda sendbackup
logs I see:
sendbackup: try_socksize: send buffer size is 65536
sendbackup: time 0.001: stream_server: waiting for connection: 0.0.0.0.50084

sendbackup: time 0.001: stream_server: waiting for connection: 0.0.0.0.50086
sendbackup: time 0.006: waiting for connect on 50084, then 50085, then 50086
sendbackup: time 30.001: stream_accept: timeout after 30 seconds

sendbackup: time 89.992: timeout on index port 50086
sendbackup: time 89.992: pid 16879 finish time Sat Feb 4 18:09:20 2006
Any suggestions?
Gordon,
the Amanda Client is wating on port 50084, 50085 and 50086. The Amanda
server will be using ports in the TCPPORTRANGE to communicate with the
Amanda Client.
To see if your Amanda is configured with TCPPORTRANGE, do the following:
amadmin config version |grep with-tcpportrange
--Kevin
Thanks,
Gordon

I am having a problem backing up another host with my amanda server.
This is my first try at backing up another linux machine. These are
both debian machines. The tape server can backup itself just fine. I
installed amanda-common and amanda-client on the client machine. I
setup the amandahosts file. On the tape server I added the client to
the disklist, etc. If I run amcheck it gives no errors and says all
clients are fine. But when I run the backup (amdump) I get an error for
the remote client.
Here are the lines out of amdump.1:
dumper: stream_client: connect to 10.10.10.3.50037 failed: Connection
refused
driver: result time 69.587 from dumper0: TRY-AGAIN 00-00001 could not
connect to data port: Connection refused
After that it tries again with the same result. Can someone please
point me in the right direction. I know its probably something stupid
but I cannot figure it out.
Using vtapes, 2.4.5p1
Any firewall active on server and/or client?
These issues are very often related to AMANDA's usage of high ports.
I don't know how the maintainer of the Debian-AMANDA-pkgs has configured the
software, but there are configure-options to choose the port-range AMANDA
uses.
Maybe read http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Configuration_with_iptables
for a start and look for any active firewalling rules.
Stefan.
