amrecover timeout problem

[Ksloan]

Hey everyone,

I'm using amanda-backup_server-3.3.1-1 on Fedora 16 and I'm trying to recover off of a Windows client (ZWC-Community-3.3-64bit.)

Both amcheck and amdump run fine with 0 problems found, but I can't seem to get amrecover working - I receive a [request failed: timeout waiting for ACK]

I have looked everywhere for a solution to no avail.

Amanda.conf is set to have bsdtcp authentication for both global parameters and in dumptype.
Amanda-client has the index and tape server set to the client's FQDNs
.amandahosts has:

localhost root amindexd amidxtaped
localhost amandabackup amdump
client_FQDN amandabackup
client_FQDN root amindexd amidxtaped

I have tried disabling the firewall on both the client and server but I still continue to receive the [request failed: timeout waiting for ACK]. If anyone has some incite, I would greatly appreciate it.

I was able to get it working. I was typing in "amrecover DailySet1" so I tried "amrecover -C DailySet1 -s localhost -t localhost -h 'client_pc_name' " and it worked!

I tried extracting files/folders but I keep geting "Virtual-tape directory is not writable" even when I change permissions (chmod 777). Ill continue to try and get this working but if anyone has any idea, I'd appreciate it.\


UPDATE : - I had to disable SELinux in order to bypass this, but then I was able to successfully restore.
