Should I suspect networking issues?
Something seems to point that way.
Wired I assume? wireless hasn't yet proved itself to me for this sort of
usage. And I am a broadcast engineer, many years retired now.
Yes, wired gigabit connections, of course (this is in a server room).
One thing that I noticed during the installation was that my
/etc/xinetd.d/amanda uses UDP, while other examples on the net were using
TCP. My impression is that in newer versions of Amanda the defaults have
changed. Should I switch to TCP? Any docs on thesubject?

If you can consistently demonstrate correct restores on the server, but
not on the client, then you either have a networking issue or some
hardware problem on the client itself. Try restoring over SSH to rule
out networking.
Alan, when you say "restoring over SSH" what exactly do you mean? Is there
a mode of operation of Amanda where the transfers are done over SSH?
(I'm sorry - I have very little experience with Amanda - yet;)
Or are you just saying to copy the restred image to the client over SSH?
Stefan.
