Hi Guys
I have a problem with one of our backup systems running amanda on a Sun Server on 12
Tape library. I have the following problem:
When the scheduled amcheck is run on the server all hosts passes the test execpt for
the Amanda server. It gives me the following error :
WARNING: sandton: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 12 hosts checked in 30.458 seconds, 1 problem found.
My three daemon are run from the inetd. I have restarted the inetd service and
rebotted the server and it still gives me this error. Is there anyway to actually
check if something is wrong and how to fix this.
After a reboot a "process list" shows a clean process list but after the evenings
backup is run, there is a dump command that is running but doesn't want to die. Only
a reboot will get rid of this.
When I try to do a restore of a file from backup, it tells me the files is not on tape
but when going through the tape with amrecover I can see the files and the right date
for that tape.
Please help, I am really desperate.
