Hi.
I know there is support for tapeless backups for amanda-2.4.3
I just can't find the doc that talks about it. I must have
missed it, but I greped the doc dir and the man unsuccessfully.
I also searched the mailing list archives and I found something
about file:. The Faq has the questions but ha
Fixed.
There was a problem with group= and groups=yes in my amanda
files for xinetd. (thanx to Gene Heskett ;-)) As I understand now -- "group"
parameter is necessary because of root is owner of runtar and group have r-x
on it.
Now all of previous errors are fixed.
BTW. Thanx for all advises --

I'm happy to report that amanda is working on the systems here, almost

I stumbled across this in google groups after weeks of searching.
The problem: My amanda box is behind a Netopia 7100-c nat gateway, and
the netopia box mapped amanda ports to ports above 5, which amanda
deems as insecure. The netopia box does not appear to have any way to
re-map the port

You have to do everthing as the amanda user. But If you want to
restore something you have to be root. So you have to have access to
the client as root.

The "index tee" error is because you don't have a holding disk defined on

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart and try again.

Make sure that amandad in your xinetd/ inetd is enabled and up and
running.
It's not an authorization problem but a service problem.
