Hello all! I just noticed that on one of my machines having a hard time being backed up it was missing the last 'amandad' in the inetd.conf entry. What I mean is that it read:
amanda dgram udp wait dumper /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad instead of amanda dgram udp wait dumper /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad Would this typo prevent the machine from being archived? The amanda reports it as failed with a request timeout. I suspect there are other problems because it's in our DMZ, while the backup server is in the LAN. If I understand how Amanda operates: 1) A TCP connection is made from server --> client effectively saying "backup now". 2) That connection is dropped while the client uses dump/tar/whatever. 3) When the client is done with dump/tar/whatever it establishes another connection to the server (client --> server) and sends back data. Is that the correct high-level process? If not, what have I missed? -- David Olbersen iGuard Engineer St. Bernard Software 15015 Avenue of Sciences San Diego, CA 92127 x2152
