Hi I have a standalone tape server And I haven't and not running xinet.d services when I built amanda it did not build a /honme/amanda directory thus I haven't got a .amandahost file but one does have such a file in /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts.rpmsave
I get this warning Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- WARNING: server.domain.co.uk: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? Client check: 1 host checked in 30.002 seconds, 1 problem found I assume that I my tape server cant see the client which is the same machine. I have checked and I have got in the /etc/services and I still get host is down!.
