I now seem able to round-trip my test bed, so it looks like I have proof of concept.
Two notes on files: * amanda seems to be creating a lot of stuff as amandabackup:disk. Is that right? Shouldn't it be creating stuff as amandabackup:amandabackup? An I creating the user correctly? adduser --disabled-password amandabackup adduser amandabackup disk * amanda is putting some log files into /var/log/amanda, which seems reasonable. But it is also tossing log files into /etc/amanda/DailySet1/. /etc should only have configuration files in it. -- "When we talk of civilization, we are too apt to limit the meaning of the word to its mere embellishments, such as arts and sciences; but the true distinction between it and barbarism is, that the one presents a state of society under the protection of just and well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government of brute force." - The Rev.
