Hi! I installed amanda on a Debian Woody system, and everything appears to be configured properly. amcheck -lstw runs without incident.
However, I am victim to what appears to be the most common problem: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? I have scoured the Faq-O-Matic, and I list below the results of all the suggested fixes. What do you think? ####################################### ####################################### # sudo -u backup amcheck -lstw DailySet1 Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /space: 1294188 KB disk space available, that's plenty Tape backup.003 is writable Tape backup.003 label ok NOTE: info dir /var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo: does not exist NOTE: it will be created on the next run Server check took 0.077 seconds (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2) ####################################### ####################################### # sudo -u backup amcheck -c DailySet1 Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- WARNING: 192.168.123.150: selfcheck request timed out.
