Hi all,
I have recently installed Amanda version 2.5.1b1 on my SuSE 10.0 PC,
via an binary rpm. After some struggling, I start to understand
how it works and backups are being made.
However my daily reporting, in particular the last page the DUMP
SUMMARY is totally wrong. Below is that page of my last dump:
"

The speeds calculated for DUMPER STATS and TAPER STATS have no
relation to the amount of data backed up and the time claimed.
(I suppose that it should be ORIG-KB/MMM:SS?) This is also the
reason why everything is misaligned, I suppose. Is this a general
problem, or is it just in the rpm distribution?
Another question I have is why I should keep my ethernet card up
to run the backup. My home PC is an Amanda server-client machine,
connected to a small home network with an ADSL router and a mail
server on an old PC, but the backup is done on this single home PC.
But if I bring the ethernet card down, amdump cannot connect to the
server and fails. Of course, as recommended, my .amandahosts does
not contain "localhost", but is:
corrente.localnet root amindexd amidxtaped
corrente.localnet amandabackup amdump
Should I include "localhost"?

Charles
