Thanks for the reply. I followed suggestions in both the replies. As per your suggestion, I have added - auth "bsdtcp" in the dumptype in the amanda.conf (instead of disklist). Now , when I run amcheck, I get the error
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check Selfcheck request failed: recv error: Connection reset by peer (as against the error "timeout waiting for ACK" I was getting earlier. I get the error instantaneously. I don't have to wait for 30 seconds as in the earlier case. Will adding the auth "bsdtcp" in disklist instead of amanda.conf make any difference?
