Building the client version is as simple as the whole thing, I use this script to build the install for the server: ================== #!/bin/sh # since I'm always forgetting to su amanda... if [ `whoami` != 'amanda' ]; then echo echo "!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!!!!" echo "Amanda needs to be configured and built by the user amanda," echo "but must be installed by user root." echo exit 1 fi make clean rm -f config.status config.cache ./configure --with-user=amanda \ --with-group=disk \ --with-owner=amanda \ --with-gnu-ld \ --prefix=/usr/local \ --with-tapedev="FILE:/amandatapes" \ --with-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg/ \ --with-tape-server=coyote.coyote.den \ --with-bsdtcp-security --with-amandahosts \ --with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda \ --with-config=Daily \ --with-gnutar=/usr/local/bin/tar make ========== Adjust to suit of course... And this one to build just the client pieces: ========== #!/bin/sh # since I'm always forgetting to su amanda... if [ `whoami` != 'amanda' ]; then echo echo "!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!!!!" echo "Amanda needs to be configured and built by the user amanda," echo "but must be installed by user root." echo exit 1 fi make clean rm -f config.status config.cache ./configure --with-user=amanda \ --with-group=disk \ --with-owner=amanda \ --without-server \ --with-gnu-ld --prefix=/usr/local \ --with-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg/ \ --with-tape-server=coyote.coyote.den \ --with-bsdtcp-security --with-amandahosts make ========== I haven't adjusted either of those scripts since I changed to using the FILE: device. Consistency is the keyword, so amanda versions in use often get updated 2-4 times a month, but forward compatibility is maintained. >Paul Bijnens wrote: >> On 2006-10-20 15:05, Steven Settlemyre wrote: >>> I recently broke a disk up into subfolders to (hopefully) allow amanda >>> to do a better job fitting things onto daily single-tape backups.
