my backup server is 192.168.0.1 and the client is 192.168.0.60. as a

maybe my desired setup is unusual: all that i would like to do is a
nightly backup of my home directory so that if i accidentally overwrite
a file the next day i can recover it. i am not dumping to tape. i am
trying to dump to a directory /tmp/amanda
(tapedev="/tmp/amanda/DailySet1" in amanda.conf) on the server (as i
said i'm only currently looking to recover the previous day's work if
need be). i am not using a holding disk (i have commented the respective
lines out in amanda.conf)
Let's assume that you have your config correct; e.g. a line like
tapedev="/tmp/..."
is certainly syntax error in amanda.conf, so let's assume you have
something else there. (If not, post you have really in there.)
Let's assume the command "amcheck Dailyset1" did not return any errors.
(If not, fix those errors first.)
i have commented out tpchanger in amanda.conf and have a crontab entry
"amlabel -f DailySet1 DailySet1-00"
the following line in amdump.X seems to give a clue:
"dumper: stream_client: connect to 192.168.0.60.46830 failed: No route
to host"
why is the server trying to dump to the client?
The dumper just tries to connect to the client GET the dump.
Does simple networking between the client and host work?
Depending on which version of amanda you use and which authorization
protocol you configured the server and client need to connect to
each other... More info, like version, protocol, and config is needed
to help (and of course any firewall on the server or client).
