Notes on making amanda-client work on a Debian system
-
To get indexing (or specifically amrecover) to work right two things need
to be done:
-1. Edit server's /etc/hosts.allow and allow all client machines into
- the daemons amindexd & amidxtaped.
+1. If you're using tcpd, make sure to edit the server's /etc/hosts.allow and
+ allow all client machines into the daemon amandad
2. Edit the server(s) ~backup/.amandahosts and add an entry like:
"<client_hostname> root"
-
As always: for more complex setups consult the manpages and available
documentation in /usr/share/doc/amanda-common ;-)
