Solution

  • Check if the parameter on the given line of the configuration file is valid. List of valid parameters is described in amanda.conf(5)
  • Check if the parameter on the given line is in the correct section. For example: Some parameters can be specified in global as well as dumptype section. Some parameters can only be present in a dumptype section.
