when i ran amcheck DailySet1 as backup user and got these messages:

Code:

os is debian lenny
amanda-server version is 2.5.2p1
amanda-client version on backup client is 2.5.2p1-4

/etc/amandahosts on server

Code:

localhost 	backup 	amdump
localhost 	root	amindexd amidxtaped
ns1.malayo.local 	root	amindexd amidxtaped

server can ping ns1.malayo.local

/etc/amandahosts on client

Code:

amanda.malayo.local	backup amdump

client can ping amanda.malayo.local

there's nothing in /tmp/amanda

this is what i found in debug file

Code:

amcheck-clients: time 0.554: security_stream_seterr(0x88199a0, recv error: Connection reset by peer)

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.
