If your server can connect to your clients, then you should be able to configure your firewall/etc to allow them to route their amanda connections back properly. The server tells the client what to send, and the clients open up a reverse connection back to what they perceive as the server (generally this would be the firewall/NAT device). Feel free to ask me offline more specific questions and/or check out the Amanda online FAQ area. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Doug Silver Network Manager Quantified Systems, Inc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
