Hi,

I tried using a 2.5.2p1 amanda.conf on a 2.5.1p3 server. When I run amrecover,
I get

501 Could not read config file /etc/amanda/{myConfig}/amanda.conf!

But the problem is not, that amanda could not read the file. It is, that
amanda.conf have parameters out of 2.5.2p1 that 2.5.1p3 don't know.

Maybe the error message could be changed in "Unknown parameters in ...." or
something like that. Or even better, just a warning and ignore that lines if
all other required information are available.

amcheck provided me at least that there's something wrong in some lines:
"/etc/amanda/{myConfig}/amanda.conf", line 250: configuration keyword expected
"/etc/amanda/{myConfig}/amanda.conf", line 250: end of line is expected

Regards
Marc
