I've some trouble with amanda on aix 5.2L (it's a client machine) Maybe you can help me or introduce me, what caused this error.
I try to use amanda 2.4.2p2 patched with tar-1.12.patch and regex-3.6alpha.patch Amanda have been compiled with following options: --without-server --with-user=bin --with-group=bin --with-gnutar='path to gnu-tar' In "disklist" i use the "always-full-tar" option and path targeted to directory, not to device. and there is i have follow amanda report: -- my.system /directory lev 0 FAILED [data timeout] sendbackup: start [my.system:/directory level 0] sendbackup: could not unlock /etc/amandates: Bad file number? dumper: strange [missing size line from sendbackup] dumper: strange [missing end line from sendbackup] What does this mean? P.S I was try to use amanda-2.4.2p2 without any patches and i again have this error. My Amanda-server (amanda-2.4.2.p2) work on Linux machine and backup other systems (linux and hp-ux) fine.
