hello again! i got the samba working so i can talk with the ms box. now i'm trying to get the amanda win32 working to try and backup the system. i am connecting to the MS box but i am getting an error that i can't seem to figure out when i'm running amcheck.
-bash-2.05b$ /usr/sbin/amcheck DailySet1 Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /var/tmp: 28918452 KB disk space available, that's plenty amcheck-server: slot 4: date 20031205 label DailySet103 (exact label match) NOTE: skipping tape-writable test Tape DailySet103 label ok Server check took 0.320 seconds Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- ERROR: NAK hccdevelop03: execute access to "/usr/amanda/libexec/selfcheck" denied Client check: 2 hosts checked in 0.135 seconds, 1 problem found the directory setup on the MS machine does not contain anything called selfcheck. do i need this here or should it be running from my linux machine? also, on my MS maching i do not have a folder under usr called lib. again is this a problem. Thanks for all the help. I'm just getting started with this and i tend to get stuck A LOT!!! jess On Mon, 2003-12-22 at 17:33, Gene Heskett wrote: > On Monday 22 December 2003 15:52, jessica blackburn wrote: > >Hello! > > > >I'm trying to back up an NT file system using a Linux file system. > > I currently run amanda on my linux machine, however, i'm having > > numerous problems attempting to get the nt systems backed-up. i've > > tried both the amanda win32 and the samba and cannot get either to > > work. using samba i am able to look at the linux machine from the > > nt machine but i've been unsuccessful the other way. when using > > the win32 i am getting the error host down and 1 problem found. > > > >any recommendations on which approach to take and how best to tackle > >this? > > > >any and all help is greatly appreciated!! > > > >thanks! > > > >jess > > > >Hirzel Canning Company > >Northwood, OH > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > I take it that you are not aware that the NT filesystem is rated read > only by the linux drivers?
