It has taken some fiddling with the /etc/hosts file on the new client, but at the end it worked. 3 backups were done without any problem, but number 4 and 5 failed completely for the new client (the client-server was and is OK). - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- - - Part from the mailed report: These dumps were to tape daily-11. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: daily-12.
