Centralized Backup Server With Amanda On CentOS - Using Disk Drives
I am a newbie on Linux. I have visited this link http://www.howtoforge.com/centralized-backup-server-with-amanda-on-centos but did not know where to do the changes if I want to use my hardisk as the back up device.
I am getting the error messages like after I used the following command in the bash login
-bash-3.2$ for ((i=1; $i<=15; i++)); do /usr/sbin/amlabel intra intra-$i slot $i; done
"/etc/amanda/intra/amanda.conf", line 22: a quoted string expected
"/etc/amanda/intra/amanda.conf", line 22: end of line expected
"/etc/amanda/intra/amanda.conf", line 23: tape type parameter expected
"/etc/amanda/intra/amanda.conf", line 23: end of line expected
"/etc/amanda/intra/amanda.conf", line 24: tape type parameter expected
"/etc/amanda/intra/amanda.conf", line 24: end of line expected
"/etc/amanda/intra/amanda.conf", line 25: tape type parameter expected
"/etc/amanda/intra/amanda.conf", line 25: end of line expected
"/etc/amanda/intra/amanda.conf", line 26: tape type parameter expected
Could someone help me fix it?

Ok. Here is another one! Error 2:

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: alpha: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.164 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.0p2)
I tried referring to this link for the client side error @ http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Amc...
but for some reason I am not able to access it.
But I checked for the amanda process on both my client and server and it was up and running.
I used the following command to check the amanda process netstat -a | grep amanda.
I also checked the /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts file on client(alpha) and it had only one line which is as mentioned below:
gamma amanda
The server(gamma) however had two lines in /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts file as mentioned below:
alpha amanda
gamma amanda
I am not sure why it is failing again? Please help!
New error message
All I did to do to get rid of my old error message was to add an entry on the client system in /etc/hosts file - gamma 192.168.1.1
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: alpha: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.012 seconds, 1 problem found
Now I am getting a new error message:
ERROR: alpha: [can not read/write /etc/amandates: Permission denied]
I checked the file permissions for /etc/amandates and it is as mentioned below.
-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda disk 0 Jan 7 2007 /etc/amandates
Any quick thoughts or suggestion on this?
The below mentioned are the line numbers and the text it refers
