Hi All,

I am new to amanda, and I have just set up a backup scheme and am trying to test (using 2.5.1). When I have only one of my remote hosts in the disklist, the backup will run fine. When I add the other remote host as well as the localhost (also a web server), I am seeing the errors below. Can anyone help me out?

Hi,

run "amcheck config_name" first, it will report any failure and suggestion for 
correction.

Looking through amdump doesn't really help me any, as it says basically the same thing. I am lost.

In email results (obscured hostnames for security):
