I am trying to set it up as an optional package for a Linux
distribution. "bin" does have a ~, it is /bin. /bin isn't exactly the
place for a config file for an optional backup program. There are few
standard users to select from in our distribution, I can't add one just
for amanda. "root" is the

Every user has a home directory (~). Since you'll have to have the
Amanda user defined to install Amanda, it by definition has a home
How would I go about this since .amandahosts should be in ~ of some
user. User "bin" would not have a ~, I can assume only root has a ~ on a
clean system. I cant assign an arbitrary userid that the host won't have.
I take it there is definite increased security problems if I specify
root as the us

Yes. Read the FAQ at www.amanda.org where this is covered in detail.

I'm having a strange problem trying to setup the amanda-2.4.2 client on a
Red Hat Linux 6.0 box (called Scribe).
After installing the .amandahosts file in operator's home directory, and
adding the line to /etc/inetd.conf:
amanda dgram udp wait operator /usr/local/libexec/amandad \

This looks like a dump issue
does dumping the file systems by hand work ?
(To /dev/null )
Are you dumping the raw disks as apposed to the block devices.
(Or does the Linux dump do the conversion correctly ?)
are the disks quiet or active while being dumped ?
You should also contact the gro

My suggestion is that you talk to whoever maintains the dump package.
It's clearly their problem. Maybe they can use your system as a test
case for fixing the problem.

Sounds as if the number of tapes amanda knows about that are
I tried typing:
%amadmin hub.org reuse Vol_1
amadmin: tape Vol_1 already reusable.

yet amcheck hub.org tells me that I need a new tape ...
so how does one reuse a tape already written to? *raised eyebrow*

Hi,
Nevermind folks, I figured it out. Guess I just panicked because it was
the Friday before Christmas... ;)
The problem was large filesystems that were all scheduled for level 0
dumps. Amanda was timing out before dump was finished estimating the
sizes. Increasing "etimeout" in amanda.conf
Hello All-
I am a bit confused. Is there a host type file for Amanda. I am able
to do an nslookup on the backup server hosts no problem and the host is
also in /etc/hosts
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I'd *really* like to fix this before the holidays... ;)
My tapehost can't seem to back itself up. Last night's report indicates
"request timed out", as does a subsequent amcheck. I've consulted the
FAQ for amcheck, and since /tmp/amanda/amandad.debug had not been
rewritten since the previo

after several tries, I still cannot backup 1 out of 6 servers. I updated
