I am using the ubuntu amanda-server and amanda-client packages (3.3.6) on ubuntu server 16.04 to backup to virtual tapes on an NFS mounted file system. Everything is great on the backup server. I can run amrecover locally and recover files. But I thought I'd try mounting the NFS share on a client machine to see if I could recover files that way. I thought if the backup server ever goes down, I might still be able to recover files on the client machine.

So I installed amanda-server on the client machine and copied the contents of /etc/amanda/DailySet1/ to the client. Then I ran:


# amrecover DailySet1 -o auth=local -s localhost

That gives me the error message, ""501 Could not read config file for 
DailySet1!". I amd doing this as root. Root does have permission to open/read 
/etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf.
