Great !!!
Can I use 2.4.5 server with 2.4.4 clients ?
I used rpm from RH (amanda 2.4.4p1)

Yes.
The client-server protocol used in 2.4.0 and later can interoperate
with different versions, even 2.5 experimental installations.
Of course that means that you only use the common features of
cient and server.

The protocol used in 2.3.X and earlier is not compatible. Actually
a version independent protocol, exchanging features, was the main
design change for the 2.4.2 upgrade (and then the developpers even
made it backward compatible with 2.4.0).
Version 2.4.0 dates from 1998; I doubt you'll find such an old
version, unless you're interested in antique.
