Hello,
I am all new to Amanda and I am using the 2.6 version with web console.
What I want to do is to backup a directory c:/temp on Windows PC called "w99.kanzlei".
So I first installed the windows client on the PC. This worked all fine and I defined a backup set on the Linux (FC6) server called "w99.kanzlei" with this one directory to backup.
The "Verify" checks on the web console say everything is ok, but when I do a amcheck on the prompt it says:
sh-3.1$ amcheck w99.kanzlei
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Changer problem: could not read result from "/usr/lib/amanda/chg-disk": Success
changer problem: could not read result from "/usr/lib/amanda/chg-disk": Success (expecting a new tape)
NOTE: host info dir /etc/amanda/w99.kanzlei/curinfo/w99.kanzlei does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
NOTE: index dir /etc/amanda/w99.kanzlei/index/w99.kanzlei does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
Server check took 0.011 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.219 seconds. 0 problems found.
(brought to you by Amanda 2.6.0)
When I now launch a backup, it says:

I am using the template "HARDDISK", without a holding disk.

What am I doing wrong here?
Thank you in advance
