- Is amandad running?
  Check with "netstat -an | grep 10080".

- Is the server allowed to connect to the client?
  Check if there`s a line like
  servername  amanda  amdump
  in .amandahosts

- Any errors in debug* files in /tmp/amanda?

- Do you have multiple interfaces and bind it to the one amanda wants to
connect.



> amcheck shows

Did you run amcheck -c or -s?
Maybe if you run -s (server only) then amanda did not connect to the
client (even if it runs on the same host, like in your environment).



Can you send the output of "amadmin {config} disklist"? Which auth are you
using? Also please send your xinetd configuration for amanda services.


Regards
Marc

The SCSI cards I've used will just go the speed of the slowest device. So if
you have a 15K RPM Drive and a backup tape drive attached. The tape
drive is going to make that hard drive lag. 

The hard drive is a SATA drive so only the tape drive is attached to the
the SCSI card.

I'll try sending some data direct, as i can do that from my office.

remember the onsite tech used the old cable. I'll most likely need to
schedule a visit and check the cables and terminator. 

Thanks for the pointers.

I got new problem:

These dumps were to tape DailySet1-13.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DailySet1-14.

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
cpu.ind.com  /var/lib/mysql  lev 0  FAILED [mesg read: Connection reset by
peer]
cpu.ind.com  /var/lib/mysql  lev 0  FAILED [cannot read header: got 0
instead of 32768]
cpu.ind.com  /var/lib/mysql  lev 0  was successfully retried

can anyone explain to me?

Means that Amanda client on cpu.ind.com closed connection with Amanda
server before the dump (or estimate was finished).

Maybe the client was rebooted during the backup or xinetd restarted.



cpu.ind.com  /var/lib/mysql  lev 0  FAILED [cannot read header: got 0
instead of 32768]

The server didn't send an estimate or backup, because of a maybe reboot.



cpu.ind.com  /var/lib/mysql  lev 0  was successfully retried

Everything was done fine. Amanda retried successfully.
