Steve,

Amanda doesn't use broadcast.

Hi there,

We have a server hosted with our ISP and we have recently started to run amanda backups from this server to our main backup server.

The ISP has contacted us about broadcast storms emanating from this server.

These storms coincide with backup runs.

I wasn't aware that amanda used broadcast traffic but there is nothing else on this server which could be causing this.

If amanda does use broadcast, is there a way to turn it off or otherwise contain it?

Thanks
