RE: Please advice

The case is following:

I have 2 servers.

Alpha server is production server.

Beta server is a backup server with “DLT tape” , daily backups done from alpha to local HD on beta, and alpha Weekly backup done once a week to DLT.

Now, the level 0 (full) fails on /home due to the error in the first event.

I did looked at the log file, permission set in alpha server are correct: "/var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists" (-rw------- 1 amanda disk)

Somehow level 0 fails not only for /home but also for other folders...

Here the part of log where the error occurred:

I would advice against using HTML mails to mailing lists :-)

Please give:

ls -la /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists

Debug files on the client may contain more detailed information.

Probably in directory /tmp/amanda, unless changed during compile time.

Permission problems? Was amandad started with the correct user?

Has "runtar" (in libexec) the correct permissions?
