Cheers I did google this But I am using ipchains.

iptables replaces ipchains. ipchains is pretty much obsolete now, I would upgrade to iptables.

Are there any examples for me to look at.

the basic idea should be the same.

For amdump to work, you need to open up:
backup client : 10080(udp), a small range of tcp ports for data transfer e.g. 11000:11030 (recompile amanda with --with-tcpportrange=11000,11030)


For amrecover to work, you need to open up:
backup server: 10082(udp), 10083(udp), a small range of tcp ports for data transfer e.g. 11000:11030 (recompile amanda with --with-tcpportrange=11000,11030)
