Hello everyone I am replacing our old BRU backup system to Amanda to allow network backups. I used amanda in the past and figured it would be a good fit. I am having similiar problems as others with the selfcheck problems when running amcheck from the server. I will continue reading threads and newsgroups trying to resolve this, but figured I would toss a question up, if I missed something obvious.
I have the server configured as a client as well and it is working as advertised. I made amanda on the second client using ./configure --with-user=amanda --with-group=disk --without-server make make install (All as root) The contents of the disklist on the server is server.tcs-sec.com /export/share comp-user client.tcs-sec.com /opt/src comp-user I added the following lines to /etc/services amanda 10080/udp # amanda backup services amandaidx 10082/tcp # amanda backup services amidxtape 10083/tcp # amanda backup services I added the following line to /etc/inetd.conf and hupped it # # Amandad to provide network backups to srcsrv # amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad I created the .amandahosts file in the amanda user's home directory consisting of server.tcs-sec.com amanda Amanda's home directory on the client consists of [amanda@client amanda]$ ls -la total 36 drwxrwxr-x 2 amanda disk 4096 Jan 31 15:08 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Jan 31 10:52 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 amanda disk 26 Jan 31 15:08 .amanadahosts Running /usr/local/sbin/amcheck Daily on the server as amanda I get WARNING: client.tcs-sec.com: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? I do not get any files in the /tmp/amanda directory. Does amanda need any rights to /var/logs ? Do the user IDs need to match? They weren't prior, I synced them as one of my shots in the dark. Client is running Redhat 7.0 Server is running Redhat 7.2 both are running amanda 2.4.2 Any ideas? Thanks Shawn
