Hi there,
I've been trying to get amanda 2.4.2p2 to back up the host that amanda is
running on (Redhat 6.2, amanda built from source using egcs RPMs), and I
can't seem to get it going. Amanda on this server happily backs up five
other boxes (also RH6.2), but won't back up itself. If I do an amcheck, it
comes back and says that everything's fine (i.e. it can check itself). One
of the other five boxes used to be the amanda server (2.4.1p1), and it
could happily back this server up, and itself.
I created a special config called 'db1-only' (db1 is the name of the backup
server), and when I run amanda with this config (amdump db1-only), I can
see the dumper and taper processes start up on db1 and run for some time,
and also a gzip process. The results email says the following (below) but I
did notice the amanda process, and the gzip process, still running after I
had received this email:
These dumps were to tape ci_normal_0037.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

Here's the /etc/inetd.conf lines relating to amanda:
amandaidx stream tcp nowait root.root

In the 'db1-only' disklist, it says this:
db1 / root-tar -1 local
db1 /usr user-tar -1 local
db1 /usr/local user-tar -1 local
db1 /var user-tar -1 local
db1 /exports user-tar -1 local
Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong? Any more info required?
Thanks in advance,
Guy.
