I know the dumps are working for /var. I get a successful backup email and amadmin
works too except for amrecover. Weird huh? My /etc/hosts file is correct. I have index
generation enabled too and there are files created in my index dir.
I also know daemons and hosts file are ok
# more /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 mybackup localhost
10.1.1.10 mybackup.test.com mybackup
#more /home/amanda/.amandahosts
mybackup amanda
mybackup root
mybackup.test.com amanda
mybackup.test.com root
10.1.1.10 amanda
10.1.1.10 root
Thourgh the includedir /etc/xinetd.d directive, the 3 services also work
::
amanda
::
service amanda
{
socket_type= dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user =amanda
group =disk
server =/usr/local/libexec/amandad
disable=no
}
::
amandaidx
::
service amandaidx
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user=root
groups =yes
server =/usr/local/libexec/amindexd
}
::
amidxtape
::
service amidxtape
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
groups = yes
server =
/usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped
server_args = amidxtaped
}
The xinetd /var/log/messages confirm that xinet serves
the four processes just fine
mybackup xinetd[11344]: xinetd Version 2.1
mybackup xinetd[11344]: libwrap
mybackup xinetd[11344]: options compiled in.
mybackup xinetd[11344]: Started working: 3 available services
mybackup xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded
I also have the correct entries in /etc/services
amanda 10080/udp #amanda backup services
kamanda 10081/tcp #amanda backup services(Kerberos)
kamanda 10081/udp #amanda backup services (Kerberos)
amandaidx 10082/tcp #amanda backup services
amidxtape 10083/tcp #amanda backup services
My /etc/hosts.allow has all:all
Here is my amanda.conf and my disklist
-
define dumptype global {
index yes
}
define dumptype myvartest {
comment "/var directory"
compress client best
holdingdisk yes
index yes
}
As for the disklist,
#more disklist
10.1.1.10 /var myvartest
The backups work, but restores using amrecover don't. What could be wrong?
Thanks.
