Hi,

it was too easy:

It just took a while for me to make out, that I need in the .amandahosts not 
the server running samba, but Winpc with it's name and my amanda login-name 
(additional the entry in the amandapass).

I found out after deinstalling samba and amanda, getting the whole stuff 
"fresh" from the internet, installing it, having the same problem as before, 
and at last reading for the 10th time the same articles there is a hint in 
the book mentioned on the amanda-page to the .amandahosts.

Now samba-shares are backuped (Yeeeaaaah !!!! ), but my local disks tell me 
something about beeing offline.
I installed the latestet version of gnutar, nothing changes, but I am still 
looking in articles, mailling-list, etc. ... maybe I'll find out.


Thanks a lot to all who helped me and were occupied with my problem.


Martin
