On closer inspection, the error message in the original post gives enough information to reconstruct the proper amandahosts line. > Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check > -------------------------------- > ERROR: NAK chef: user backup from knecht.fritz.box is not allowed to > execute the service noop: Please add "amdump" to the line > in /var/backups/.amandahosts on the client So this is an amcheck run, presumably to be followed by an amdump run, from host knecht.fritz.box, and sending username "backup". So, on the client (not the server!), you should add knecht.fritz.box backup amdump to /var/backups/.amandahosts HTH, Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
