Hello,

I'm trying to add a NetBSD system running Amanda 2.5.2p1 as a backup
client to an existing backup server running Amanda 2.4.4p3 on Linux.

Running amcheck(8) shows no problems, and both the `noop' and `sendsize'
stages during an amdump(8) run seem to be fine. But then, during the
`sendbackup' stage, some strange connection problem occurs: running
amstatus(8) on the server shows lines like

  myclient:/  0  27800k wait for dumping driver: (aborted:[request timeout])

for all disk from that new client, and the Amanda mail report contains
lines like

  myclient / lev 0 FAILED 20080904[could not connect to myclient]

for all of those. On the client system, syslogd receives several
messages about

  sendbackup[n]: index tee cannot write [Broken pipe]

during the amdump run.

Both hosts involved are connected to the same IP subnet, without any
packet filtering done in between.


Any hint about what could be the problem here?

TIA, Jukka
