Hi, your assumption about the hostnames is correct. What you are doing is one of the big NO!NO!'s of amanda.
Just like I suspected ;-/
Yes, I knew that. Which is why amdump/planner should do a host lookup and base it's decision on IP addresses.Never list a single host in multiple concurent amanda runs, or, in your case, with different names in a single amanda configuration. amandad can only handle one request at the same time.
Only solution is to use only one hostname per physical host in disklist.
I'd say the failure to handle aliases is a *BUG*!
Again, this is really a shame. It causes extra work & a whole lot of mess in the indexes etc. if you move disks around a bit.No other way out there.
