Note the tape error is because I haven't yet switched the tape, it's
not the cause of the failed backups.  Just wanted to clarify that.

Thanks,

No Mike, thats a real error. Amcheck would have rewound the tape and 
read the label if the system was working.

I fixed the problem of the "high server load" by installing amanda
version 2.4.4p1 on the server and the clients.

amcheck daily now reports:

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p1)


But the backups fail.  Checking the logs in /tmp/amanda (on the
clients), I see things like:

sendbackup: time 0.000: stream_server: waiting for connection:

sendbackup: time 0.001: stream_server: waiting for connection:

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
