just forget to say:

any hints found in /tmp/amanda/* on your clients or server(s)? Or wherever
your --with-tmpdir=/XXX points to ? (check config.status in your src-dir)

 Cheers, Peter

Hi guys,

This is the latest report that amstatus reported. Could you please explain what seems to be the problem with my setup and what are the parameters means. I setup the firewall to accept amanda on UDP and TCP port, but i got this "Connection timed out" on some hosts. What does amanda means of wait for dumping in some host? does it need to be run again to get the dump from the host?

do you have amanda configured with

--with-tcpportrange=low,high bind unreserved TCP server sockets to ports within this range unlimited

or

--with-udpportrange=low,high bind reserved UDP server sockets to ports within this range unlimited

 or

--with-portrange=low,high bind unreserved TCP server sockets to ports within this range unlimited

on your clients AND server(s), and also configured your firewall using
those ports to amanda clients and server(s), too ?

never seen "(aborted:could not connect to data port: Connection timed out)

(too many dumper retry)" anyways... only if clients are completely "down"...

/etc/inetd.conf entries correctly configured ? inetd restarted afterwards ?

what is "amcheck <yourconfig>" saying ?

 Cheers, Peter
