Hi All

I did the following.

AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2. Contacting server on localhost ...

In the the following correct?

root@backupserver:/etc/amanda/fullback# more /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts
localhost amanda amdump
backupserver.bluebarracuda.com amanda amdump
backupserver.bluebarracuda.com root amindexd
backupserver.bluebarracuda.com root amidxtaped

Kind Regards,
Prashant

Hi All,

I think I did a backup sucessfully, but I cannot check as i
do not have a logs although the folder
/var/log/amanda/fullback was created.

1. How do I switch the logs in the config so as to check the
status of the backup.

2. amrecover is giving this message

root@backupserver:/etc/amanda/fullback# amrecover fullback
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2. Contacting server on callisto ...
[request failed: getaddrinfo(callisto): Temporary failure in
name resolution ] root@backupserver:/etc/amanda/fullback#

Any thoughts.

Kind Regards,
Prashant
