Since Jon and Paul have addressed the first half of your email so accurately, I guess I'll take this half. Amanda functions by connecting from the server to the client. So this is the dumper connecting to the client to *pull* the data to be backed up. You don't sound surprised about the "No route to host" part, so I assume there's a firewall or other intervening mechanism that would prevent this sort of activity. You'll need to remove this mechanism and allow the server to connecto to the client. Also, given the port number, it sounds like you're using BSD authentication, which tends to use a lot of separate connections instead of one single connection. If your client supports it, consider switching to bsdtcp authentication. See the wiki for a bit more detail. Dustin -- Storage Software Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
