hi, I've trying to backup a few windows 2000 servers using amanda, without
success...

I followed the guide on http://www.fnal.gov/docs/products/amanda/docs/SAMBA,
but when I run the amcheck -c xos, I get the following error:

amanda@vectra:/usr/local/etc/amanda/xos$ amcheck -c xos

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: taurus: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?
WARNING: falcon: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?
Client check: 5 hosts checked in 30.053 seconds, 2 problems found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p2)

I created a local user on these 2 win2k boxes called backup. my disklist
file for these 2 boxes looks like:

taurus //taurus/backup high-tar
falcon //FALCON/Memetrics high-tar

** I tried with with lower and upper case, on a desperate try.

and my amandapass file:

//taurus/backup backup@memetrics
//FALCON/Memetrics backup@memetrics

any hints?

cheers,
Fernando
