Hi, I am using amanda to only backup the tape server host (for now), but I am receiving an error message in my amreport emails:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: 192.168.26 /dev/hda5 lev 0 FAILED [can't switch to incremental dump] 192.168.26 /dev/hda8 lev 0 FAILED [can't switch to incremental dump] amcheck runs fine.

Contacting server on 192.168.26.100 ... amrecover: cannot connect to 192.168.26.100: Connection refused could the two problems be related? thanks for the advice. Ed
