Re: can't backup a remote machine

My guess would be a firewall issue.

 When I look at the logs it's telling me that my remote machine is

 happening and how I can fix it?
 
 Thanks for your time.

can't backup a remote machine

If there's a firewall in between, you'll want to read PORTS.USAGE in the
amanda documentation. Amcheck will work, but amdump can fail.
