Issue : amdump fails with planner error and no backups are created.

Logs
amreport output or the backup email contains the following in FAILURE and STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY section.
 planner: ERROR <server name> NAK :  user <amanda user> from <server name> is not allowed to execute 
 the service noop:   Please add "amdump" to the line in /<home directory of amanda user>/.amandahosts
 <client name>    <directory> RESULTS MISSING
Causes
  • .amandahosts does not have correct entries to do backup.
Solution
  • Add the following entry to .amandahosts on the client.
 <server name> <amanda user> amdump
 Example:
 amandaserver.company.com amandabackup amdump
  • Amanda is WAY too particular about .amandahosts permissions
 ENSURE YOU HAVE PERMS AT 400, like this:
    -r--------   1 amanda         63 Mar 23 08:42 .amandahosts
 At 600, mine fails the selfcheck
