But the backups fail.  Checking the logs in /tmp/amanda (on the

All hosts were configured with:

--with-tcpportrange=850,854 --with-udpportrange=850,854

So why am I getting connections on port 33011? I have

850-854 opened

on the firewall, but if it's trying to connect on 33xxx

then of course

it's not going to work.

On the server, my /etc/services has:

amanda 850/udp # amanda

backup services

amanda          850/tcp

kamanda 851/tcp # amanda backup services (Kerberos) kamanda 851/udp # amanda backup services (Kerberos) amandaidx 852/tcp # amanda

backup services

amidxtape 853/tcp # amanda

backup services

The clients have:

amanda 850/udp
amanda 850/tcp
kamanda 851/udp
amandaidx 852/tcp

All I can tell you is that for me to be able to back up my firewall, I
had to create a rule that allowed my amanda server full access to all of
my high ports (>1023). I had this problem and this is what Joshua from
this listserv came back with. Worked like a charm. I would suggest
trying this.
