I've got the Win32 client setup and running in a console window on an NT box running NT4.0 SP6a. It works well. I've also setup amanda as a service according to the instructions. However, the service does not start. It hangs for a while and then gives an error:
Error 2186: The service is not responding to the control function. Now, I went to the MS support site and found the 2186 error. The solution given was to upgrade to the most current SP. So I checked my machine and it had SP6a, but there was a hotfix that wasn't loaded (Q246009), so I loaded it and restarted the system. The service is to run under the user 'amanda' as a local user with administrative rights including the right to 'login as a service'. It's setup as a 'Manual' service so it does not try to start at boot, even though that's what I would prefer. The server is a Sun E3000 and has no problem backing up the NT box when the client is running in the foreground in a console window or command window. Has anyone had any luck with the Win32 client as a service? I found the client at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/amanda-win32/ --- Wayne Richards Phone: 330 796-4462 Goodyear Tech Center Fax: 330 796-3947 Department 431A e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PO Box 3531 Akron, OH 44309-3531
