Looks like maybe amanda does not see the FQDN but only:

[access as backup not allowed from backup@mail]

have you tried:

mail backup

in your .amandahosts

?

Hi all, I have been struggling with this for a couple of weeks now 
and can't figure it out.

I am trying to do a backup on my localhost for the files on that localhost.

I have set up amanda-server and amanda-client(2.4.5-1) in debian 
using apt and then rolling my  own amanda.conf

I finally got most of it working, but now I get this (I still haven't 
managed to do a backup...)

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
   planner: ERROR mail.unsw.org.au:  [access as backup not allowed 
from backup@mail] amandahostsauth failed
   mail.unsw. hda1 RESULTS MISSING

the .amandahosts is exactly

mail.unsw.org.au backup

mail.unsw.org.au is the FQDN of the server.

Any suggestions VERY gratefully received


I have searched the archives and found nothing quite like this. Most 
people have had to modify amandahosts - but I think mine is right.

The amanda user that deb sets up is backup
