Zmanda tests only with "amandabackup" user as the Amanda user. We use server packages available in http://www.zmanda.com/download-amanda.php It does not mean that other amanda users will not work. Please check http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Zmanda_Windows_Client#Running_ZWC_as_some_other_user for more information on how to make the change. thanks, Paddy
