Did the "mailto" target get a report from amdump? If not, you can run amreport/amviewreport from the command line. > > Another clue.. when I run "amcheck sandbox" the errors are gone, but I > get a warning: > > AMANDA backup client hosts check > -------------------------------- > Warning: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? > Client check: 1 host checked in 30.051 seconds, 1 problem found It would be good if amanda could contact the host you are trying to backup :)) Better check this out. Look for logfiles from amdump and debug files from both amcheck and amdump (default location for debug files is in /tmp/amanda but it is a compile time config). You should find more info in those files. -- Jon H. LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] JG Computing 4455 Province Line Road (609) 252-0159 Princeton, NJ 08540-4322 (609) 683-7220 (fax)
