amanda-client version

2007-05-10 Thread Steven Settlemyre
How do I find out which version of amanda-client is running on my hosts? 
I found the debian ones through the package manager, but wonder if 
there's a command-line switch to use?

Use
  amgetconf build.VERSION
if the box has 'amgetconf'; otherwise you can look in your sendbackup or
sendsize debug logs.

You can also use amadmin xx version

That only works on the server.  If '--without-server' was used to
build the software for some of your clients, there won't be an
amadmin command to run, so you have to check the *.debug files.

Hi guys,
Thank you all very much for the help.  I finally figured out my problem.
It was that I didn't remove the tape label properly.  I didn't run
amrmtape before I ran amlabel on the same tape.
Do you mean that was the error message that amanda put in the mail
report?  While you were under the impressin that there was no error
at all?


Can somebody tell me how to compile and install amanda client using
amanda-2.4.5.tar.gz?  I need to deploy clients on the machines I need to
back up.  Thanks, lei

Attached, please find my amanda.conf and disklist files.  Please help.

The config seems correct.
Are you really sure that in the report that the amanda user receives
by mail, there is no error message?
Also in the /tmp/amanda/ directory on client and server are
some debug files.
Can you send one of the sendsize.DATETIMESTAMP.debug files from
the client?  And if they don't exist, one of the amandad.*.debug files?

ont the client:
tar -xzf amanda-2.4.5.tar.gz
cd amanda-2.4.5
read through docs/INSTALL
./configure  (with appropriate options, usually the same ones used for the
  server install, possibly adding --without-server)
make
su -
make install
