Re: New to Amanda, almost got it working...
ERROR: stats_db: [can not access /dev/sdb1 (/dev/sdb1): Permission denied] I've created an user called amanda and a group called backup on the client and server machines. The amanda user is in the disk group as a secondary group on the client machine. In addition to the good ideas David gave, are you using inetd to run amandad, or are you using xinetd? If xinetd, do you have groups = yes in the config file so the alternate groups for amanda are initialized by xinetd? If you change this, make sure you do whatever magic it is to xinetd to get it to reread the config file. Tyrone John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: New to Amanda, almost got it working...
Brilliant!! That was all it was, I added groups = yes and restarted xinetd and it's working fine. Many thanks to you and to David for taking the time to help me out!

Re: New to Amanda, almost got it working...
Tyrone! I've created an user called amanda and a group called backup on the client and server machines. The amanda user is in the disk group as a secondary group on the client machine. What am I doing wrong? If you know of any source online where I can find the answer? Thanks in advance. a) does /dev/sdb1 exist? b) what does ls -l /dev/sdb1 tell you? c) are you certain that either user amanda or group backup can access /dev/sdb1?
