Not using FQDN was my problem. -- Best Regards Thomas Wegner www.tommiwe.de

So, on the client (not the server!), you should add knecht.fritz.box backup amdump to /var/backups/.amandahosts HTH, Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com

I suspect you're adding it to the right file, but in the wrong format. It needs to be $server_fqdn amdump where $server_fqdn is the hostname Amanda gets when it does a reverse DNS lookup of the server's IP address.

Trouble with new Client
Hi! Amanda is running on my server since August 2009. I backup only one ubuntu-client. 3 weeks ago I made a completely new installation on my ubuntu-client using ubuntu karmic-koala. I installed amamda-client on this client and restored all necessary files from my amanda-server. It works very well. But now I want to backup my client like 3 weeks ago. The backup ends with an error. This is the message: Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check ERROR: NAK chef: user backup from knecht.fritz.box is not allowed to execute the service noop: Please add "amdump" to the line in /var/backups/.amandahosts on the client I wonder where I have to add those lines? I've added it in /var/lib/.amamdahosts, /var/backups/.amandahosts which is a symbolic link to /etc/amandahosts. The error messages are still the same. What can I do? -- Best Regards Thomas Wegner www.tommiwe.de
