Please don't take this the wrong way, but did you read my original mail correctly? I'm not having problems restoring to the server (as mentioned in my email, that _works_ ), I'm having problems restoring to a _client_. If as you mentioned above was not installed, then I would not be able to restore to my tape server, but that works perfectly every time, I'm having problems restoring directly to a client from the client. Anyway the problem is now fixed, for some strange reason , I woke up this morning and added exactually what I added last list to the .amandahosts file on hte tape server, ie: stimpy.angelnet.internal root and now it works...weird!.

amrecover unable to connect to remote client
Hi, I have just tried to restore some files from my tape server to my client and keep getting connection refused ( I ended up restoring them to the tape server at a tmp location and then using scp to get them to the client) Am I correct in thinking that to restore to clients you have to have amandaidx as well as amanda in /etc/xinetd.d in the clients xinetd.d directory ? (thus using RH, you have to install amanda-server rpm as well) as I have specified in both .amandahosts that root can connect (just in case) cheers Mark -- --- To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.
