Re: Problem with amrecover

2003-04-01 Thread Bartho Saaiman
Hi Nicki and others that replied. Eventually found the problem after running strace amrecover which indicated that it was refused connection to port 10082 (amandaidx). On closer inspection I found that amandaidx (/etc/xinetd.d/amandaidx) was actually disabled and this led to my problems.

I have to agree that a GUI frontend would be nice but completely unnecessary. If you don't know your way around a command prompt you have little business being a backup administrator. That said, there are lots of opportunities for additional configuration options. Our single tape drive
