This floods my inboxes and is noise ... Are the directories not group root and readable/executable by group? Maybe make the amanda a secondary member of the group. Use acl's to specifically let amanda user access. jl -- Jon H. LaBadie j...@jgcomp.com 11226 South Shore Rd. (703) 787-0688 (H) Reston, VA 20190 (703) 935-6720 (C)

This floods my inboxes and is noise ... Which backup program is used for this DLE? (Which version of Amanda?) What are the ownership and permissions on /root, /root/dc_stuff, and /root/dc_stuff/backups directories? (I am trying to remember the details of this situation, but for example it might be significant if is it just the final level of the path that is unreadable, or if the intermediate directories are also.) (On the client machine in qustion) is the Unix user amanda runs under a member of any Unix groups?

amcheck-ing root files
I know it was topic here already ... long ago, maybe someone knows a solution to this already: I have files owned by root that get correctly amdump-ed but throw ugly errors/warnings when I run my daily amcheck via cron (to remind admins to change tapes if necessary). So I get for example: Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check HOST backup ERROR: backup: Could not access samba_DC_meta (/root/dc_stuff/backups): Permission denied but the actual backup works Can I get rid of that? This floods my inboxes and is noise ...
