Subject: ambackup fails for client

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.
