If you run a Linux 2.5 kernel there is Amanda support built in to the kernel (actually its an option in the netfilter section of the kernel config, you have to enable it). On older kernels, your best bet is to rebuild your Amanda server and clients using the 'portrange' options to limit Amanda to a narrow range of ports and have your firewall rules allow traffic on those ports between the client and server. Another option is to rsync the desired directories on the remote server to somewhere local that you could then back up.

I am attempting to backup a system that is on the other side of an iptables/netfilter firewall. I have opened ports 10080 10082 an 10083 for udp and tcp. The system passes amcheck, but the dump give me this report. (dogs is in fact offline, I am trying to backup ftp)

All the other systems in this set backup just fine.
What am I missing here.
