amaddclient error

[homenet]

When you set up your zwc Windows client, try "run as administrator".

That didn't help. For what it's worth, I'm an admin on the server and UAC has been turned off.

Well, I got it set up again and I can get a backup of another Ubuntu server without issue. However, the backup of a Windows 2008 R2 server fails. I think I still have something wrong with my config.

Should I kick this over to the Windows client forum?

Think I figured this out. On the Windows Server, I ran "C:\Program Files\Zmanda\Zmanda Client for Windows Community Edition(x64)\bin\ZWCConfig.exe" and got into the Server config tab. On there, it had my server listed correctly - as far as I could tell. It listed h1p-backup1.homenet.local and I could ping it just fine. However, when I removed it and added the server via IP address, it worked just fine! Any idea why, that would occur??

That is a DNS issue. If you ran nslookup AmandaServerHostName on your Windows client, you would find the returned ip is not correct. Either you can only add the server's ip in your ZWC, or you can add the Amanda Server's ip and host name in the Windows client's 'hosts' file (C:\Windows\System32\Config\drivers\etc) to allow you using Server's host name in ZWC.

The IP info looks good.

U:\>nslookup h1p-backup1
Server:  dc1.homenet.local
Address:  10.224.210.7

Name:    h1p-backup1.HOMENET.local
Address:  10.224.210.37


U:\>nslookup h1p-backup1.homenet.local
Server:  dc1.homenet.local
Address:  10.224.210.7

Name:    h1p-backup1.homenet.local
Address:  10.224.210.37

It is weird. Can you add your server host name and ip in your Windows 'host' file to see if it works?

Adding a reverse DNS entry helped with this.
