Hi group
I get the feeling this is a no brainer, but I can't find mention of it on
the web or elsewhere.
When running amdump, su'ing the amanda user as root, or even logging in as
the amanda user directly, file ownership is changing to root.disk (amanda
user is amanda.disk) on /etc/amanda/daily/tapelist. This scuppers amanda
the next time it is run.
Also, these two, which if I've read correctly, amanda creates as it is run,
are not accessible as mentioned in the log when running amcheck.
file /etc/amanda/daily/logs/log
directory /home/amanda/dumps/<date>.
I ran configure with these options:
./configure \
--with-user=amanda \
--with-group=disk \
--with-configdir=/etc/amanda \
--with-gnutar=/bin/tar \
--with-tape-device=/dev/nst0 \
--with-amandahosts \
--with-portrange=850,851 \
--with-udpportrange=860,861
As an aside, I can see that dumper is using ports 860 and 861 as configured
but also 731 and 732. Why? Is this to do with the inparalell= value in
amanda.conf? This is currently set to 4 - this looks like an Ooops! This
machine is firewalled, but I don't backup anything other than the local
/home, so will this affect me?
Any help greatly appreciated.
