You need to use the tar dumptype and specify a file path rather than a device. The tar will run suid as root and the permissions problems won't occur. -Mitch -Original Message- From: owner-amanda-us...@amanda.org [mailto:owner-amanda- us...@amanda.org] On Behalf Of Mitch Collinsworth Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 4:54 PM To: McGraw, Robert P Cc: amanda-users@amanda.org Subject: Re: Red Hat amanda question On Tue, 3 Mar 2009, McGraw, Robert P wrote: I have set up an Amanda client on a Red Hat 5.2 server and amcheck recognizes the new client.

On this page http://wiki.zmanda.com/man/amanda.conf.5.html re the equations in the definition of flush-threshold-dumped int and flush-threshold-scheduled int and taperflush int What is the math symbol between t and d ? times (multiply) is the only thing that makes sense to me, but what I see (in 2 broswers; the third leaves it blank) is ? in a diamond box. IE I see h + s t ? d but I think it should meanh + s t (times) d Is this correct? Deb Baddorf Fermilab Accelerator Controls

Deb Baddorf Fermilab Accelerator Controls according to my local man page (man amanda.conf) a lower-case x is the character used. i believe you are correct. and for what it's worth, the web version gives me the same thing you are seeing.
