Amanda is, at its core, just a wrapper around GNU Tar (or dump, or any number of other data-handling programs). If you're doing a one-shot project like this, then Amanda will just be in your way. Instead, quiesce the server, tar it up to tape or a NAS or what have you, and then untar it on the new hardware. Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
