any idea?

Is this your initial setup? There is nothing in /tmp/amanda on the client, but you found the debug files in /tmp/amanda on the server? What auth method are you using?

There is reference detail here http://wiki.zmanda.com/man/amanda-auth.7.html as well as here http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Sel...request_failed.

yes, my initial setup based on this article -> http://www.howtoforge.com/disk-backu...n-debian-lenny

auth: bsdtcp

I presume you are using Amanda 2.5.2p1 just because that is the package available for your version of Debian? That's actually quite old. Should work, but you'll find many of the Amanda guides talking about newer versions.

Do look at the links I posted above. They directly address the issue you are having. A more extensive installation and setup guide pertinent to your version of Amanda can be found here http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Quick_start_%28old%29 . Various links within that will get you to other parts of the Amanda wiki.
