Search the archives and google. Previous posters have mentioned
modified amanda versions that incorporate the afs dump tool. I am
only familiar with Coda (www.coda.cs.cmu.edu), which has its own
backup program. Basically the idea is to use amanda to transport and
store the bytestream from the native 'dump' version for the non-ufs
filesystem.
For various reasons, I use gnu tar to back up Coda. This loses the
atomic snapshot that the 'real' backup does, and doesn't back up coda
metadata (acls), but it works well enough. With the coming 'DUMPER'
API, it should be possible to hook in native coda and afs clone/dump
programs. I believe the coda folks have a modified amanda that does
Coda.
<rant> I really wish that the coda and afs backup programs would
produce a BSD dump-format stream, with the files as files, and
metadata as files with some funny names (e.g. lots of __, or ^A^F^S),
so that one could restore them either on the coda/afs filesystems, or
read them anywhere else. But this is really orthogonal to amanda
running sendbackup-coda.c. </rant>
