After running a amdump , I was trying to get amrecover to work on one of the clients.
On the server prdapp16. I modified the .amandahosts file cat /home/amanda/.amandahosts prdapp16.transora.com root amindexd amidxtaped qaapp01-bkup.1sync.org root amindexd amidxtaped On the client I ran amrecover inside the /var directory. [/var]#/opt/amanda/server/sbin/amrecover Full AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on egvmgmt5001 ... [request failed: timeout waiting for ACK] Strange this is that it is attempting to contact another client and not the master backup server. Is there a variable that needs to be set on the client side to change the server that amrecover will connect to? Thanks
