Hi,

I have lots of problems to get amanda client working on a windows 2003
server, see output at the end of this messages.
Logging of amcheck:

The standard amanda windows client AmandaBackupClient2-5-1p2.msi was
installed using Administrator . Installation seemed to have gone well.

After half a day of trying and googling around i ran out of clues.

All help on this issue is very much appreciated (and needed).

Thx in advance,

Erik

The windows client is a standard Windows 2003 Small Business Server,
with latest updates from our friends of Redmond.

Amanda backup server: aurora.xout.lan
Amanda client: albacore
.amandahosts on client albacore (AmandaBackupClient2-5-1p2.msi )
-bash-3.1$ cd ~amandabackup
-bash-3.1$ cat .amandahosts
aurora.xout.lan amanda amdump

Please post the information in Amanda forums (http://
forums.zmanda.com).

Did you take a look at the Amanda wiki (http://wiki.zmanda.com) for
troubleshooting this error message?
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Amcheck:_selfcheck_request_failed

Please check if you have set up xinetd configuration on the Amanda
server correctly.

Thanks,
Paddy
