I am getting “WARNING: 2kserver: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?” when I try to backup a Windows 2000 server using Samba and Amanda.

I have 10 hosts in my disklist file which are all running Linux and the Amanda Client. These hosts all backup fine. I have now tried adding a Windows 2000 server to the disklist, using the Samba format; this is my disklist entry:

  2kserver    //2kserver/d$    comp-root-tar

The server should be a Unix host running smbclient.  That unix host
then connects to //pchost/share to make the backup.

  Can anyone help me out – I’m starting to lose hair over this one!!

Want a picture of me ? ;-)
