Just to make sure, the .amandahosts file that needs to be edited is on the Winows client.
That's:
.amandahosts file : C:\Cygwin\var\lib\amanda\.amandahosts

Please see if cygwin1.dll is installed anywhere on the client machine. If installed, moving it to the right path might help.

make sure amdump is using auth=bsdtcp.

It's a dumptype parameter.

might have to do with the 'only_from' line in the amanda defintion.
Take it out to see if amrecover works. Then add 'localhost.localdomain' to see if it makes a difference.

>amrecover: time 0.010: security_handleinit(handle=0x87a4e68, driver=0xc0b3c0 (BSD))

seems to me amrecover is using bsd auth while the server is listening using bsdtcp.

Try to set auth in...

in /tmp/amanda/amandad*debug* file which list the debug option it used to compile Amanda.
Search for 'port' or 'portrange'. If it's there, you can use that range to secure the firewall properly.

>Can i do an amrestore from the files in the holding disk?

You may also use amrestore to extract a backup image from a holding
disk file that has not yet been flushed to tape:

wait = no

does amdump succeed?

Something amcheck fails while amdump succeeds due to permission on the files and directories.

Hi,

please contact Zmanda support at [email protected]
It could be a known bug that we have a fix for.

Thanks!

Hi,

what version of Amanda are you running?
Did you run amverify?

Install Amanda Server software on the server and Amanda Client software on the clients.

A Quick start guide can be found at:

The following tapetype...

Hi,

the server needs to listen and accept connection from the client for amrecover to work.

Hi,

I think the Amanda Window client (using cygwin) only supports auth bsdtcp or ssh.
See:

Hi,

is there any error in sendbackup.*.debug log?
I would also try to increase dtimeout in amanda.conf.

any error in /tmp/amanda/client/$config/sendbackup.*.debug on the client?

Thanks for the report. We'll fix the regex to filter out the comment properly in the next release.

Oh, I mean to ask about the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda* on the server.
amrecover needs to talk to the tape and index server one the 'server'.

On the server, do
netstat -a |grep amanda

If amanda is...

Can you please list the file /etc/xinetd.d/amanda* on the client?
Is there a firewall between the server and the client?

Hi,

we have fixed the problem and new package is ready for download.

Thanks for reporting the problem. We'll release a patch shortly.

>/dev/sg0: Operation not permitted

what is the "ls -la /dev/sg0" output?
Does amanda user have access right to it?

see
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Configuring_bsd/bsdudp/bsdtcp_authentication
Likely /etc/xinetd.d/amandaserver is not set up properly

Also check /etc/amanda/amanda-client.conf

correction, path should be /var/lib/amanda/ (instead of /var/lib/amandabackup/)

>2) make sure /var/lib/amandabackup/.am_passphrase can be found on the client as well as the server
