Hello all,

(After quite some time spent on initial configuration issues...)

It seems the dump works successfully, but when I try an amrecover from the client, I get the following error:

=========================
root@chris-desktop:~# amrecover -s 10.100.100.150
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on 10.100.100.150 ...

NAK: user root from chris-desktop is not allowed to execute the service amindexd: Please add "amindexd amidxtaped" to the line in /var/backups/.amandahosts on the client

Add the following to the .amandahosts on the server:
 chris-desktop backup amindexd amidxtaped
The message is fixed in 2.6.1

My .amandahosts file contains:
=========================
root@chris-desktop:~# cat /var/backups/.amandahosts
localhost root amindexd amidxtaped
localhost backup amdump
chris-desktop root amindexd amidxtaped
chris-desktop backup imindexd amidxtaped

The amrecover debug output:

FYI: When I run a amcheck -c DailySet1 on the server, I receive the following output:

=========================
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------

ERROR: NAK 10.100.100.160: user backup from dub-amanda1.dublinoffice.bfx is not allowed to execute the service noop: Please add "amdump" to the line in /var/backups/.amandahosts on the client

Client check: 1 host checked in 10.003 seconds, 1 problem found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.2p1)

Anybody have a clue/tips?

After the server gave me that pointer (add amdump to the .amandahosts file), the contents now look as follows:

=========================

root@chris-desktop:~# cat /var/backups/.amandahosts localhost root amindexd amidxtaped amdump

localhost backup amdump
chris-desktop root amindexd amidxtaped amdump
chris-desktop backup imindexd amidxtaped

 dub-amanda1.dublinoffice.bfx backup amdump
