Hi all,

recently I have added 1 PC to be backuped up (so now in total 2 PC's
are backuped: the server itself and this 2nd PC).  It has taken some
fiddling with the /etc/hosts file on the new client, but at the end
it worked.  3 backups were done without any problem, but number 4
and 5 failed completely for the new client (the client-server was
and is OK).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part from the mailed report:
These dumps were to tape daily-11.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: daily-12.

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:

(Relevant?) part from the amdump.1 file on the server:

Again, a part, now from the new client /tmp/amanda/amandad.20060831111552.debug,
where the timeout is noted.

The "amcheck daily" mentions no problem at all:

--------------------------------
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 0.507 seconds, 0 problems found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.1b1)

Any help is appreciated, as usual.
