Hi,

I am located in China and, as far as I can tell, the amanda web site
(http://www.amanda.org/) is not accessible from here.

I am trying to get amanda running on a rh9 host, primarily using
http://www.harkness.co.uk/services/backup.html as my guide.

I seem to be running into some trouble though.

When I get to this part :

su amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amdump DailySet1"

it seems to return quite quickly without any messages at all.

I have tried these lines in my /etc/amanda/DailySet1/disklist file :

#localhost /etc comp-root-tar
#localhost /home comp-root-tar
localhost /dev/ida/c0d0p5 comp-root-tar

but it doesn't seem to make any difference; it still returns really
quickly :

# time su amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amdump DailySet1"
0.110u 0.070s 0:06.86 2.6%      0+0k 0+0io 5962pf+0w
#

Also, I've tried one or two of the other amanda commands, and I get
some errors about missing files. The first was a
/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar file, and another is :

# time su amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amstatus DailySet1"
/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/amflush: No such file or directory at
/usr/sbin/amstatus line 106.
0.160u 0.010s 0:00.42 40.4%     0+0k 0+0io 1245pf+0w

I just manually created the exclude file, but I am starting to think
that I didn't install correctly. This is what rpm says I have :

# rpm -qa | fgrep amanda
amanda-server-2.4.3-4
amanda-client-2.4.3-4
amanda-2.4.3-4

Can someone help, or point me to somewhere that helps (not on
www.amanda.org)?

Thanks.

Max.
