Re: [Openvpn-users] SOLVED: Need help with amanda client on a VPN

[OpenVPN User <openvpn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Turns out it had nothing to do with either the firewall or openvpn.
When I created a new amanda config with just the laptop, it backed up.
So I figured the amanda database for my regular config was currupt.  I
did a `amadmin <config> delete <laptop> *' and it all seems to work now.
