Ah! Next time I should read the release notes with both eyes open!
I think the answer is:
* Amanda server configuration file changes (amanda.conf)
o new configuration keyword
+ client_port -- in dumptype, to specify which port to connect on
the client.
* Amanda client configuration file changes (amanda-client.conf)
o new configuration keyword
+ client_port -- use by amrecover, specify which port to connect on
the server.
Just added the bits in, then:
~# /opt/amanda-3.1.0beta2/sbin/amrecover -C test
AMRECOVER Version 3.1.0beta2. Contacting server on watch ...
220 watch AMANDA index server (3.1.0beta2) ready.
