Backups on the NATed side of our firewall work fine. 2. Our tape server is on the NATed side of firewall. 3. Backups through the firewall fail when I run AMCHECK. The error message is port NNNN not secure. I have attempted to research the environment variables 'tcpportrange', 'udpportrange' and 'portrange' and configure our firewall appropriately but with no success. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.There are some user-supplied responses to that question in the FAQ-o-matic: http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/14.html See if any of them apply. Other info might be available at zmanda.comJon: Thanks for your reply. I had previously checked out Faq-O-Matic and found nothing new or useful to me for this problem. The problem may be in my perseptions about this problem. Regarding the file 'site.config'. I would like to know the difference between the 'portrange' parameter and the 'tcpportrange' parameter. Am I supposed to use both? Does 'tcpportrange' override 'portrange' or what? I am afraid that much 'handholding' may be required to get me over this problem!IIRC (I've not used port specification) portrange is the old synonym for tcpportrange. Assuming I'm correct, don't use portrange. But do use BOTH udpportrange and tcpportrange. Again, suggested by someone who has not used them. jl do I do the identical configuration on the CLIENT with respect to 'tcpportrange' and 'udpportrange'? I cannot find anything about this in the documentation I had another thought, I am using a Netgear model FSV338 for my firewall. (I use the appropriate settings for port-forwarding.) Could this be the problem? How can I check this out? Mike |
