Hi Listserv,
Here is the output of my amcheck .  My questions follow:
1.  How does one get the date not to appear as X ?
2.  I am trying to backup /opt ,  /home and /etc.
      Do I have to create the files   _home, _opt and _etc myself  or will
AMANDA create them?
      Are these files or directories ?
3.  What is causing the client selfcheck time-out ?  Do I have to start the
daemon amandad before running amcheck ?
