    Hello guys,

    I had installed amanda on CentOS using the guidance on this link http://www.howtoforge.com/centralized-backup-server-with-amanda-on-centos.

    However I am getting an error message below when I used /usr/sbin/amcheck intra command.

    Amanda Tape Server Host Check
    -----------------------------
    ERROR: holding dir /dumps/amanda: No such file or directory, you must create a directory.
    slot 14: read label `intra-14', date `X'
    slot 15: read label `intra-15', date `X'
    slot 1: read label `intra-1', date `X'
    slot 2: read label `intra-2', date `X'
    slot 3: read label `intra-3', date `X'
    slot 4: read label `intra-4', date `X'

    slot 13: read label `intra-13', date `X'

    (expecting a new tape)
    NOTE: info dir /etc/amanda/intra/curinfo: does not exist
    NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
    NOTE: index dir /etc/amanda/intra/index: does not exist
    NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
    Server check took 1.013 seconds

    Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
    --------------------------------
    WARNING: alpha: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK
    Client check: 1 host checked in 30.045 seconds, 1 problem found

    Could someone tell me how to fix it?
    Any comment and help is highly appreciated.
