Dump is there, so I assumed I could use it. Opps. Restore doesn't show up though. Ok, gnutar is fine, except it failed still over night. Here's the errors for MacOS X: /-- borg / lev 0 FAILED [mesg read: Operation timed out] sendbackup: start [borg:/ level 0] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/bin/gnutar sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/bin/gnutar -f... - sendbackup: info end \-------- > > I haven't been able to get the server side to work, it > >can't find start_time ... > > Care to post the exact error message(s)? I guess I should have started with that... But like I said, I'm not going to use this machine as a server: bash-2.05# make /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link cc -g -O2 -o amindexd amindexd.o disk_histo ry.o list_dir.o libamserver.la ../tape-src/libamtape.la ../common-src/libamanda. la -lm -lcurses cc -g -O2 -o amindexd amindexd.o disk_history.o list_dir.o .libs/libamserver.a - lm -lcurses ../tape-src/.libs/libamtape.a -lm -lcurses ../common-src/.libs/libam anda.a -lm -lcurses -lm -lcurses /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _start_time make: *** [amindexd] Error 1 bash-2.05# pwd /Users/proot/src/amanda-2.4.2p1/server-src bash-2.05# > > Second, I back up an NT and a Win2000 machines with amanda, > >and I get tons of 'strange' (amanda's word) output from it.

After I sent this, I figured out that the FreeBSD ports (my server) splits amanda completely between server and client, so I only had the server not amandad. That's fixed, and I'm completely running 2.4.2p1. The error messages were different over night, and a whole lot less. I can probably live with these. I probably should do a registry backup before amanda, I just thought. > What version of Amanda are you working with? 2.4.2p1 > What version of Samba? Also just upgraded to 2.0.8 > What are the "strange" lines it's reporting? Here's the new lines. These look like open file errors. Like I said, doing a registry backup, would cover this. /-- horton //endurance/bacup lev 1 STRANGE sendbackup: start [horton://endurance/bacup level 1] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/local/bin/smbclient sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/local/bin/smbclient -f... - sendbackup: info end | added interface ip=204.147.87.98 bcast=204.147.87.127 nmask=255.255.255.224 ?
