Hi! I've read in the mailinglist archive, that I've got to recompile amanda with the option "--with-tcpportrange=X,Y" and "--with-udpportrange=xxx,yyy" to let the Amanda Backup Server access the client behind the firewall. Before that I've got to open these ports on my firewall.
My questions: - What are the standard/default values, if you omiss these options during compilitation? Or is instead a random port used? - Do I really need to use "--with-udpportrange=xxx,yyy", if I only want to backup the client and don't need a connection from my amanda client to the index server - How big has this portrange to be? Are three ports enough or am I able to use only one? Are there any further restrictions like the portrange has to be below/above a certain number (I've noticed amanda using 3503 to 3505 to send the backups). I'm using 2.4.19 Kernel. Is there a firewall rule to get Amanda working without recompiling it?
