I'm trying to backup my RHEL4 host 'www' using my Debian amanda server 'centernet.' Centernet backs up itself successfully, but can't back up the remote host www. I installed amanda-common, amanda-server and amanda-client from the Debian sarge packages on centernet, and amanda-client-2.4.4p3-1 and amanda-2.4.4p3-1 from the RHEL4 packages on www. The information at the end of this post shows the tcpdump of packets received on www when I do 'amcheck -c DBackup', which shows that they seem to be arriving at the host, but I get 'port amanda unreachable'. netstat doesn't show the amanda port open, but I'm not sure if it should (this is the only remote host I back up, so no compar4ison is possible). The xinet.d/amanda file seems correct; the backup host on www is 'amanda' and the backup host on the tapeserver centernet is 'backkup,' but I think I've got the correct answers in /var/lig/amanda/.amandahosts. The amanda debug files from the tapehost don't seem to show anything odd.
Thanks for any help or suggestions in troubleshooting this problem. -Kevin Kevin Zembower Internet Services Group manager Center for Communication Programs Bloomberg School of Public Health Johns Hopkins University 111 Market Place, Suite 310 Baltimore, Maryland 21202 410-659-6139 ================================================================ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date; /usr/sbin/amcheck -c DBackup; for f in `find /tmp/amanda* -mmin -1`; do { echo $f; cat $f; } done Tue Dec 5 11:01:56 EST 2006 Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- WARNING: www: selfcheck request timed out.
