Template:Troubleshooting CategoryTemplate:Troubleshooting Category Template:Troubleshooting Problem amdump fails with planner error and no backups are created; amreport output or the backup email contains the following in the "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

Template:Troubleshooting Explanation .amandahosts does not have correct entries to do backup.

Template:Troubleshooting Solution

  • Add the following entry to .amandahosts on the client.
 <server name> <amanda user> amdump

Example: 

 amandaserver.company.com amandabackup amdump
  • Amanda is very particular about .amandahosts permissions. Ensure that the permisions are 400, like this:
    -r--------   1 amanda         63 Mar 23 08:42 .amandahosts

At 600, mine fails the selfcheck
