I'm not exactly sure what I've done to fix things, but backups and
amrecovers are now working properly.
For the record, on the backup server, the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda file contains:
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amanda
group = amanda
groups = yes
server = /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad
server_args = amdump amindexd amidxtaped
only_from = 192.168.1.0
disable = no
log_type = SYSLOG daemon debug
}
and, again on the backup server, the /etc/amanda/amandahosts file contains:
# Machine-name for those hosts which are permitted to back up (fully-qualified
# is best). An entry in /etc/hosts adds fail-safe against DNS death :-)
# |
# | permitted user-name
# | |
server amanda amdump
server root amindexd amidxtaped
client root amindexd amidxtaped
On the backup client, the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda file is identical to
the server's.
On the backup client, the /etc/amanda/amandahosts file contains:
# vim: ts=4 sts=4 sw=4 noexpandtab:
# Machine-name for those hosts which are permitted to back up (fully-qualified
# is best). An entry in /etc/hosts adds fail-safe against DNS death :-)
# |
# | permitted user-name
# | |
client amanda amdump
server amanda amdump
client root amindexd amidxtaped
I used the fqdn for the client and server names in the above files.
