Nope. Use 2000mb. That's a little bit less than 2Gb, so it won't
bump into the limit.

Amanda doesn't have that restriction, although the tape would have to

I recently upgraded from 2.4.1p1 to 2.4.2p1, and ever since I've

I'm running lots of smb backups on a 2.4.2 beta version (I didn't upgrade to

was having the right version of SAMBA. Once I upgraded to 2.0.6, everything

Try adding 'groups = yes' to your service
Here's my working version:
service amanda

socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amanda
group = backup
groups = yes
server = /opt/libexec/amandad
}
service amandaidx

If you are using RedHat 7 you might want to try the amanda 2.4.2 rpm
from RedHat's rawhide ftp. It works well for me.

ATL has backup software called WebAdmin that it sounds like your NT admins

I'm afraid you have to disappoint them.
It is because the machine is multihomed and forward DNS lookup does not
match the reverse one.
You either have to put an additional record in forward zone with
different name and change reverse for 209.47.145.4 with that new name
like this:

The blank idea came from the software I have used for NT back ups. The
