hello mailinglist, i work at a sercurity company. and was told to configure a backup for the company's data. i use amanda on a SuSE Linux-server (SuSE 7.3), one redhat 7.1 and some SuSE-clients. My configuration seems to work, but when I start amcheck for testing, I get in trouble. (I am testing only with the redhat 7.1 client and the server) A similar problem I found in your mailing archive so I asked you whether you can help me.
The amanda backup client is running on both systems (server and client) on port 10080: [root@client]# netstat -na | grep 10080 udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10080 0.0.0.0:* server:~ # netstat -na | grep 10080 udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10080 0.0.0.0:* For the redhat 7.1 client I use xinetd to configure my running services. When I start amcheck on the server now, the service "amanda" on the clients gets shut down with following error: Feb 8 13:25:04 client [767]: amanda service was deactivated because of looping Feb 8 13:25:04 client [767]: recv: Bad file descriptor (errno = 9) In your archive i found that I should add this entry to my /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd: EXTRAOPTIONS="-loop 100" I did so, but it doesn't disturb my service )-: It is still shutting down, when I start amcheck or dump. The amcheck out produces a second error. I do not know whether this error depends on the shut down of the client: amanda@server:~> amcheck company Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /backup/testsystem: 78098024 KB disk space available, that's plenty Holding disk /backup/client1: 78098024 KB disk space available, that's plenty Holding disk /backup/client2: 78098024 KB disk space available, that's plenty Holding disk /backup/client3: 78098024 KB disk space available, that's plenty Holding disk /backup/client4: 78098024 KB disk space available, that's plenty NOTE: skipping tape-writable test Tape company01 label ok Server check took 0.067 seconds Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- ERROR: localhost NAK: amandad busy WARNING: IP_OF_MY_TESTCLIENT: selfcheck request timed out.

I'd be very happy if you helped me! Thank you! Leonie P.S: Sorry, I know, my English is ugly ((-: Mit freundlichen Gr��en r-tec IT Systeme GmbH i.A.
