My .amandahosts looks like this, my server only backs the machine (client) that it is installed on. xxxxxxxx.simpson.edu root amindexd amidxtaped amdump xxxxxxxx.simpson.edu amanda amindexd amidxtaped amdump localhost root amindexd amidxtaped amdump localhost amanda amindexd amidxtaped amdump
My disklist: xxxxxxxx.simpson.edu / always-full xxxxxxxx.simpson.edu /usr1 encrypt-simple - I encrypt this. For the /usr/local/sbin//amdump, did you do a make install, if so are running this command as amanda or root and is /usr/local/sbin in your path?

Thanks for your help, Marc. I've been going through the 'Quick Start' guide (slowly) trying to make certain that i'm doing everything correctly. I'm currently confused on two similar parts... Creating the .amandahosts file and creating the disklist file. I only intend to backup files from this one machine (the amanda server itself). With this said, what do i need to enter in the .amandahosts file? And for the disklist file, to make it backup the entire filesystem, what would the entry be? My .amandahosts file, which had entries by default cuurrently looks like this: localhost root amindexd amidxtaped localhost amandabackup amdump localhost.localdomain root amindexd amidxtaped localhost.localdomain amandabackup amdump Is this correct at all for what i'm trying to do? Also, i've been getting a new email since i created the cron jobs listed in that quick start guide that tells me this: /bin/sh: /usr/local/sbin/amdump: No such file or directory Either i missed something going through the config, or nothing told me to create this directory (or file?). Not sure what i need to do there.. Thanks in Advance, again!!
