After running a amdump , I was trying to get amrecover to work on one of the clients.

 

On the server prdapp16.

I modified the .amandahosts file

cat /home/amanda/.amandahosts

prdapp16.transora.com root amindexd amidxtaped

qaapp01-bkup.1sync.org root amindexd amidxtaped

 

On  the client I ran amrecover inside the /var directory.

 

[/var]#/opt/amanda/server/sbin/amrecover Full

AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on egvmgmt5001 ...

[request failed: timeout waiting for ACK]

 

 

Strange this is that it is attempting to contact another client and not the master backup server.

Is there a variable that needs to be set on the client side to change the server that amrecover will connect to?

Thanks
