Yes. It's trivial if the clients (not partitions) are separated so a given client is only processed by one server. But even if that's not possible, you can apply a patch from a while back that lets you set the service name in amanda.conf, then run two inetd.conf entries. Look for "servicename" in the mailing list archives. >Another factor is I'm running one server(DLT) with amanda 2.4.2p2 >and backup user as root and the other server(DDS) is running >2.4.3b3 with backup user as bin.

We'll have to see what things affect what and adjust as needed. Obviously, using just one user name would make life simpler. >Would I also have to be running >the same version of amanda on both servers? Nope. There should not be any incompatibility problems with those versions. >David Flood John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
