I don't think he is saying that it's the aliases that are a problem, but rather having the same host in the disklist twice as two separate aliases. So, if that is true, you could have an entry for either amanda-server or fileserv, but not both only because they are the SAME host. Amanda can only handle one connection at a time, which would explain why amanda-server will time-out while fileserv is backed up fine, and then vise versa. > > > No other way out there. > Again, this is really a shame.
