I have AMANDA working on the server just fine. It is capable of backing up two computers already. Now I have to work on the other 4. The problem is the first 2 are running RedHat 7.1 and are thus using xinetd while the next 4 are running RedHat 6.2 and are thus using inetd. I can not figure

First thing, check the dump logs to make sure it dumped the root file system. Second, check the amanda indexes to make sure the root filesystem is there Third, try to restore it by using amrestore, instead of amrecover Fourth, try to restore it by using tar, or dump, directly from the tape,

Amrecover has defeated me.

And yes, I have read the FAQ. On my RedHat 7 server, Amrecover invariably dies with an Unexpected server end of file error. All other amanda functions (amdump, acheck, alabel) work great. I have the sneaking suspicion that xinetd is somehow to blame, mainly because of this error message
