Total Newbie with Amanda. I only want to backup my WinXP PC to an external USB drive and am lost on how to set this up. Please help!!! :(
Airports are where airplaines land, not a place to park your bicycle. You're looking in the wrong software. Amanda is aimed for a network of computers which are trying to do their backups over the network on a central server, which has lots of capacity in disk and/or tape. And that server is best some modern Unix variant as well :-).
