I use the former but believe the procedure is the same. I run amdump as "operator" and make sure all my raw disks are readable by "operator". Then I have to make sure this user can "login" to the remote machine and local machine (I want to backup the disks on the machine which is actually running amamda and has the tape drive). You have to have config each user@host that amanda will "login" as that it's ok -- in .rhosts or .amhosts. The error log message is very helpful. You must make sure that "bin hostname.domain.com" is in your .rhost/.amandahosts file. I can never remember if defaulting to the empty host, or the unqualified hostname is sufficient so I do something like the following, where thanatos is the machine running amdump: thanatos# cat .amandahosts localhost localhost.shenton.org thanatos.shenton.org thanatos.shenton.org root # for amrecover as root@thanatos absinthe.shenton.org root # for amrecover as root@abinthe sisyphus.shenton.org root There used to be a bug with hostnames being treated as case sensitive but I believe that's fixed now.
