I have to second Paul on this one. If you would like, you could go through
any number of processes to make sure the AMANDA code is the same as it was a
month ago when everything was fine (MD5SUM against backups, Re-install,
etc.) and I expect you will still have the problem, which leaves either (a)

No, i´m using the "/dev/nst0" instead. What does this "r" letter stand for?
My version of amanda is amanda-2.4.2p2-9. I downloaded it from redhat.

Hi Roberto,
It´s happening to me also. What I need to avoid it it, on the server machine, run the

This obligates the tape to rewind itself and makes the backup recovering work.

Hi,
I'm using a Red Hat E.S. and a Debian Linux. The Debian is the server
and Red Hat the client. I configured and use the server to backup other

Also, i´d like to inform that redhat 8.0 comes with two amanda related
iptables helper modules:
- ip_conntrack_amanda
(which solved my problem)
- ip_nat_amanda
(for those who have an iptables firewall with NAT enabled, between the
server and client machines)
Bruno Negrao.

Yes, this patch solves the problem and is the best approach. Actually, the
redhat linux 8.0 is shipped with this module.
So, to avoid the firewall machine of blocking the server data transfer
connection, i needed to activate the following commands:
/sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_amanda
iptables -A IN
Guys, I´m reading documents about a "amanda-conntrack-nat patch".
Does someone out there already tested it? Can it solve my problem?

Hi all,
I have an amanda server on my DMZ and i like it to backup my firewall
machine(the amanda client).
I configured the firewall machine to accept INPUT packets on the UDP port

What is not working is the server connection to the data port. Which is the
best approach to make this work?

Hello All,
I'm running amanda on multiple servers, both Solaris and IRIX

On Solaris we run amanda server as "bin", I'd like to migrate

Hi Paul,
Yes, figuring it was a cross platform thing I copied the kit to

but I got errors (unsecured ports and dumper must be suid-root).
To correct I removed the --withport options and re-built. Eventually

So I asked about pre and post-dump scripts several weeks ago. Here
is what I've ended up doing; it seems to be working, and amverify is
happy:
1. compile amanda with tar=/usr/local/bin/tar
2. copy or symlink tar to /usr/local/bin/realtar
3. create a script /usr/local/bin/tar
4. chmod 755 /usr/loca

its requested).
