This article only applies to Amanda Enterprise (AE) v. 3.1.5
Issue Symptoms
Following error appears in the ZMC Restore|Restore page:
ERROR: Command failed (#52): ssh [email protected] 'echo CONNECTED' (exit Status = 65280) Error restoring the selected files
Issue Description
When the restore network service is not running on the backup client (‘backupclient.com‘ in this example), Amanda Enterprise automatically switches to using SSH as the restore method.
If the backup server cannot connect to the client via SSH as is common for Windows clients, the error message is displayed.
Resolution
On the Zmanda Windows client, restart both ZWC services–“ZWC Service” and “ZWC-MySQL”–from the Windows Services menu.
Also check to see if port 10081 is blocked by a firewall between the Amanda server and the Windows client being restored to.
