I just had to move to a new install of Amanda due to a crash of my backup server. The new server is using the Amanda 2.4.5p1 packages under Fedora Core 5, the old server was redhat 9 and Amanda 2.4.4p2. I copied the config from the old server to the new exact, and all worked fine (minus the need to migrate from chg-scsi to chg-zd-mtx as documented in my earlier thread).

This new setup ran for the first time last night, with disastrous results. More than half of my backup targets had estimate timeouts, and the root problem seems to be that the one and only Samba mount that I backup threw 10 megabytes worth of errors like those below into the log file...

  ? NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND opening remote file \home\grads\xu
xi\Hw3\Ch\ifa\draw\images\Diamond1.gif (\home\grads\xuxi\Hw3\Ch\ifa\dr
aw\images\)

... one of those for each and every file on that share.

From the command line, I can browse the mount fine with 'smbclient' and these files are all there. I've triple-checked the user, password, and workgroup settings in /etc/amandapass. Sorta stumped as to where to go from here. For tonight, I am disabling the samba share backup in the hopes that this will allow the rest of my targets to successfully backup. After that, I have to figure out what's up here. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Fran
