Hi amanda-users. I'm new to Amanda and want to use it for some backups. In the first (and yet the only) case, the backup server is equals the backup client. I know, that my question is a FAQ, but the Answers on FAQ-O-MATIC didn't solve the problem (so, this is a NEWBIE-ALERT! =;-)).
If I try to use: amanda@linux:> amcheck -c DailySet1 the following error appears: /----------------------------------------------------------------- | Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check | -------------------------------- | WARNING: localhost: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? | Client check: 1 host checked in 30.007 seconds, 1 problem found | | (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2) \----------------------------------------------------------------- I've checked the inetd.conf, and I think, that the amanda.conf in /etc/amanda/DailySet1 is OK. I only set new paths to the infofile, logdir, indexdir, tapelist. The .amandahosts (in var/lib/amanda) shows this: amanda@ll11:~> less .amandahosts localhost amanda localhost root I've commented out both lines and tried it with only root-access and amanda-access. IIRC, amanda uses one line for the client (root) and one line for the server (amanda). So it seems OK, if localhost amanda is set (isn't it?). I'm a bit irritated if the the server-client works properly, when it's is on one computer. Can you help? Thanks. AxxL
