Tried to do some recovering yesterday, using amrecover, and could not get past the "timeout waiting for ack" on systems that were working, the last time I checked.
Goggle led me to a post on the Zamnda forum suggesting that I needed an amanda-client.conf file. I have never even heard of this file in many years of suing amanda. Having said that, adding it, did solve the problem. Looking at this, it appears that when we changed to TCP from UDP this might be the trigger that meant we needed this file, as it does specify the "auth". Is this what happened? If so, is there a way to specify this on the amrecover command line, so I don't have to put this file on 50+ machines? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
