Thread: Windows Client Passes AMCHECK But...

Started 2 years, 10 months ago by DocSavage
I have set up amanda on our Fedora Core 6 machine and am able to back up correctly on there. I installed the Windows Client on our 2003 server and it passes the amcheck. I thought I had achieved success, however when I try to do an amdump i get a timeout on trying to estimate the size of the dump on the windows server and nothing gets written to the vtape from the windows server. Has anyone ...

What version of Windows client are you using? Please check sendsize logs on the Windows client directory C:/Cygwin/tmp/amanda/ Please post the contents of sendsize logs if you need help in figuring out the problem. Thanks, Paddy

Here is the sendsize debug file. I see there is an error about an illegal seek - but i dont know how to interpret it. It appears that gnutar gets the correct files sizes.... endsize: debug 1 pid 5284 ruid 3199 euid 3199: start at Thu Feb 22 00:45:05 2007 sendsize: version 2.5.1p3 Reading conf file "/etc/amanda/amanda-client.conf".

I had a similar error in my backup summaries, and it turns out that it was a configuration issue on the server side. There were no errors in the sendsize log file, aside from a few errors regarding file paths being too long. Turns out I had specified "root" instead of "amandaroot" as the username in /etc/amandahosts on the server for my windows hosts.

Actually, I spoke too soon... still getting the error.

Are you still having this problem? I changed our "etimeout" to something like 3600 to scan our 150GB fileserver, and it still timed out. Then I broke the server up into multiple DLEs in addition to the extended timeout and it seemed to work better. For example, instead of using: f:/some/file I used: f:/some/file/here f:/some/file/there f:/some/file/fun Not sure...

I have a similar problem. my case is that the log backup returns the error: planner: ERROR Request to 172.20.0.223 failed: timeout waiting for REP I changed the etimeout but it did not solve the problem. I have two machines, one has windows XP (in spanish) and other is Windows 2000 (in English) and backup only works on Windows 2000. The logFile is: Quote:...
