samba backup -- spaces in sharenames, windows backup client

2002-03-19 Thread christopher cuse
Hi All, I noticed that attempting to specify a share name containing spaces in disklist bombs during amcheck. Has anyone worked around this? I am trying to backup a number of directories on each client machine from the administrative share created through the windows profile on the samba server

remove the white spaces in the share name. Make 'Documents and Settings' 'docs' or whatever. just remove all spaces... your life will become much more simple. works for me On Tue, 2002-03-19 at 08:38, christopher cuse wrote: Hi All, I noticed that attempting to specify a share name

We tried it both ways. The backup server actually refers to another machine on the NAT range for its DNS, so when it pings the names of the machines with NAT addresses, it will get responses from their NAT IPs. We also added them manually to the /etc/hosts file on the backup server to point to

If the server can't back up itself, I'd start there. I just checked on my system and IP's seem to work, at least with amcheck, so perhaps that will solve your problem. If you used the FBSD port (/usr/ports) system on your server to build Amanda, I think it automatically required FQDN for the

Our NAT addresses are class C (192.168.0.xxx). The Amanda server resides at 192.168.0.18. It is unable to back itself up. We have a DNS server set up for the NAT addresses at 192.168.0.10 that is referred to in /etc/resolv.conf as the only DNS server for the Amanda server. However the Amanda

Ok, if you run this: nslookup `hostname` on the amanda server, does that resolve? In the resolv.conf file, are there 'domain' and 'search' entries? You can ping all the internal machines, correct? What about some other service like ssh? As a last resort, you could run tcpdump while running

Re: Amanda through translated addresses

Yes. We can run nslookup from the amanda server on the hostnames of any of the machines with NAT addresses we want it to backup and they resolve to the proper NAT addresses. The file /etc/resolv.conf has a domain and a nameserver entry, no search entry, unless thats a synonymous term with

Re: Amanda through translated addresses

If, for example, you setup your internal machines to have domains like 'host.private.daily.umn.edu', you would want your resolv.conf to look like this: domain private.daily.umn.edu search private.daily.umn.edu daily.umn.edu nameserver x It all depends how you've setup your internal DNS,

Make problem on Solaris 2.8

Hi all: I'm trying to run make for Amanda 2.4.2p2 on a Solaris 2.8 SPARC server with the following configure options: ./configure --with-user=amanda --with-group=amanda During the make process, the following error occurs. Here's the tail end of the error message: rm -f genversion.h

I suspect that you've got an ld.so path issue. The best way to deal with that is to have the linking invocations of gcc specify -R /where/ever/your/libs/are, with LD_LIBRARY_PATH unset.

My dumps have been failing right when it seems the dump should complete. Below is a snippet of information in the amreport that I get every night. The client and server have no problems communicating so I'm not sure why I would get this type of message. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Jeff
