Hi Pavel,
Thanks for the reply. I have read the links and followed everything in there
and also re-installed cygwin from start. I do have some updates however on
the 2 machines.
On machine 1 I can now see the connection from the amcheck server and the
amandad.exe starting in the task manager. It just sits there running and
never appears to do anything. The dump comes back with results missing.
On machine 2, I have managed to get it to run for an amcheck. But when I run
the backup I get the following error:
/-- <MachineName>/cygdrive/c/Inetpub lev 0 FAILED [mesg read: Connection
reset by peer]
sendbackup: start [MachineName:/cygdrive/c/Inetpub level 0]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/bin/tar
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/bin/tar -f... -
sendbackup: info end
| Total bytes written: 81920 (80KiB, 2.2MiB/s)
sendbackup: size 80
sendbackup: end
\--------
In the sendsize logs in /tmp/amanda on the client, it gives the following
errors:
sendsize[2084]: time 0.081: /usr/bin/tar: ./wwwroot/win2000.gif: Warning:
Cannot
seek to 0: Bad file descriptor
It looks like tar has problems, but I am open to any other suggestions.
Regards,
Mary.

Hi All,
I have amanda compiled on a windows 2000 server and for some reason it is
failing on amcheck. I have gone through all the details of setting up
amanda on cygwin and tried to run it on 2 windows 2000 machines. Both of
them fail. I also set it up on a windows xp machine and that runs fine.
I have used windump and can see the server contacting the client, but I do
not see the client contacting the server. If I run amandad by hand on the
client, it seems to run fine. I have gone through all the permissions on
the client and tried them every way I can think of, without success. I
have installed and re-installed inetd. I have checked that it is working
by adding telnet in to see if I can connect and that all works fine.
When I check /tmp/amanda, no file is created if I run an amcheck from the
server. A file is created if I run it manually. I cannot see any errors in
the event viewer. The version of amanda is 2.4.5p1.
Does anybody have any ideas on this, as I have run out of options? Could
it be a problem with the version of software I am using?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Regards,
Mary.
Have you read this documentation?
http://wiki.zmanda.org/index.php/Amanda_running_on_Cygwin_server
I would recommend using amanda version 2.5.0 and also do a full cygwin
installation so you are not
missing any necessary packages before you compile amanda on it.
