Getting errors when running amcheck -c myconfig

[bperrotta]

Here are the errors below followed by my amanda.conf file.
Does anyone know how to fix these errors? I am extremely new to linux
backups. Help appreciated

There is no "options" parameter. Check the amanda.conf manpage.

[bperrotta]

Thanx will try that.

Please help when I man amanda.conf the file goes on forever, I cannot find anything called options which is a parameter so far.

I do not know how to grep a man page. please explain how to display the lines I want step by step. I know a few LInux commands but not that fluent.
are there any links to examples i can just paste in my amanda.conf file. I
if there are where do i paste it? I manually went through the man page and do not see an options parameter. I only see options for other parameters. sorry If I do not understand what you mean.

please help,
Bill

You won't find an "options" parameter, because there isn't one :)

The manpage is available at http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Amanda.conf.

I still don't understand the errors or how to fix them so back to square one
I am lost. I do not know why the original amanda.samp file would not copy to amanda.conf like the 15 minute guide. but copied some one elses file and edited it and got all the errors in the top of this forum. Have no idea what they mean so it is useless to me and I am stuck.
