Hello Group - Seems like wonderful community you have here!

I have 3 fedora core servers - One hosting email using Bynari Insight server(call it bynari) One hosting an internal wiki and Samba server for windows clients (call it wiki) and a third that at the moment does nothing (call it amanda) I would like to have Amanda be my central backup server for both bynari and wiki . I have installed the server and client, configured Amanda.conf and .amadnahost on server and clients. But I still get an error whe I run amcheck - here are the results .

[root@amanda ~]# su amanda
bash-3.2$ /usr/sbni/amcheck DailySet1
bash: /usr/sbni/amcheck: No such file or directory
bash-3.2$ /usr/sbin/amcheck DailySet1

I don't even know where to begin as I specialist in IBM software and hardware and am at best a novice linux admin.

Suggest comments are appreciated.

ps I will be putting more disk in Amanda to allow for larger backups once I get it working
