Hi.

I have installed amanda server(RHEL5) for backup of a linux (Centos5) and windows xp client.When i run the amcheck DailySet1 command
-bash# amcheck DailySet1

I get the following error

ERROR: 192.168.1.23: [samba access error: //192.168.1.17/rajkumar: Error connecting to 192.168.1.17 (Permission denied): Connection to 192.168.1.17 failed (Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED): returned 1]

WARNING: 192.168.1.16: selfcheck request failed: No route to host

NOTE:
192.168.1.23 - ip of amanda Server
192.168.1.17 - IP of windowsxp client
192.168.1.16 - ip of Centos 5 client
//192.168.1.17/rajkumar - shared directory on win XP


Plz help me

The error messages seem pretty explicit about what the problem is.

Are you running amcheck as the amanda user? What are the permissions on /etc/amandates? Are you using SELinux? What do you see in /var/log/amanda? When you backup a Samba share, the actual Amanda client is the linux box that has mounted the amanda share. Is that how you have your DLE set up in the disklist?

Hi ,

i have disabled the selinux by setenforce 0 command.

Now the problem has been resolved by disabling th selinux enforcing.

Amanda server is able to take the backup.............




enjoy
