Hi
This used to work for years, never had any trouble.
Due to a Internet configuration change (from SHDSL -> Fiber) I had to change
the backup server as the previous backup server was not required anymore.
I know about .amandahosts, hosts.allow, amanda.conf, xinet.d, the different
daemons etc. - but I also know it is not working.
The host (3 interfaces) is backing up all machines, upstream, downstream and
parallel - but it does not backup itself.
The command "amcheck --client-verbose DailySet1" reports no problems but the
crontab scheduled amdump does not work.
The HOSTNAME is bound to the ip address in the disklist file.
I really do not know what is wrong.
HELP, please!
Symptoms:
~~~~~~~~~
Hostname: THEHOSTNAME
Org : DailySet1
Config : DailySet1
Date : October 19, 2017
These dumps were to tape DailySet1-11.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DailySet1-12.
FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY:
planner: ERROR Some estimate timeout on 220.233.246.146, using server

/etc/hosts.allow on the tape host

Once I figure out why it is NOT working I reduce the IP list, but first I need
to get it to work!!!!

This script just checks that the tape is loaded correctly, rewinds it and then
runs /usr/local/sbin/amdump DailySet1.
Once finsihed it appends a few things to the tape, for example the TOC.
/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/disklist

Now the tape host has a few interfaces, but the hostname is know as the
IPADDRESS in the disklist file.
