jane,
the disklist file looks fine. are you getting an email with errors? if so please send that and I can maybe help. If your getting "disk offline" errors it may be a permission issue. what user is amanda running as? are the filesystems (/dev/[sh]da[0-9]) owned by the group that amanda is running as? These are the first two things I would check. btw: I've had problems editing the group file by hand and adding amanda user to a group. It seems that the default group must be correct and amanda must be compiled with the correct options. Are you compiling from source or using an rpm?

Chris,

Thanks for your reply, yes I was trying to backup a single directory (thought I'd do this first just to test). If I have to backup the filesystem does this mean if I put the following entry in my disklist file?:

dataserv        /      always-full

Cus I've already tried this and I still get the same errors.  Is my disklist 
file wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Jane.

Are you trying to backup a filesystem or a directory. Amanda is made to dump filesystems at the disk level and won't do a single directory. Are you getting an email of the errors or looking at the logs?

Hi,

I'm still trying to get my amanda backup working, I have amanda 2.4.3b3 on a linux machine and I am just trying to backup that one directory on that one machine with no tar/compression just to test for the minute. But even that doesn't work the only
error
messages I get in amcheck are:
WARNING: info file /usr/adm/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo/dataserv/_tmp/info does 
not exist

and in my report after I have ran amdump is:

FAILURE & STRANGE dump summary
dataserv   /tmp RESULTS MISSING

and also:

driver: WARNING: got empty schedule from planner

I would be grateful any help!

Jane.
