Error Message
 Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
 --------------------------------
 WARNING: 192.168.15.245: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK
 Client check: 1 host checked in 30.097 seconds, 1 problem found
Possible Causes

1. DNS service not available or not working. If client cannot resolve server name then this error message is seen.

Remedy:

  • Correct the name resolving issue and make sure client is able to connect to the server.

OR

  • Add server name entry in /etc/hosts of client machines.

2. If your client is a Virtual Machine, and /tmp/ directory is locked/engaged by some process. e.g NIS client of VM fetching NIS server.

Remedy:

  • Stop the NIS service, ensure "ls /tmp" or ls "/var/tmp" responds promptly as other directories, then run amcheck.
