struggling with Amanda - I know that I am really really close... mail sent by the command /usr/sbin/amcheck -m DailySet1 Subject: DailySet1 AMANDA PROBLEM: FIX BEFORE RUN, IF POSSIBLE Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- WARNING: program /usr/sbin/amcheck: not setuid-root WARNING: tapedev is /dev/null, dumps will be thrown away Holding disk /tmp: 950124 KB disk space available, that's plenty NOTE: skipping tape checks NOTE: info dir /var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo: does not exist NOTE: it will be created on the next run NOTE: index dir /var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/index/localhost: does not exist Server check took 0.037 seconds Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- WARNING: localhost: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? Client check: 1 host checked in 30.025 seconds, 1 problem found (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2) I have read/re-read/re-read/docs & website at Amanda.org and guess I need to figure out how to: set /usr/sbin/amcheck to setuid root set the tape device to /dev/nst0 It shouldn't be this difficult but I am not getting it - any suggestions?
