AMANDA, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver, is a backup system that allows the administrator of a LAN to set up a single master backup server to back up multiple hosts to a single large capacity tape drive. AMANDA uses native dump and/or GNU tar facilities and can back up a large number of workstations running multiple versions of Unix. Newer versions of AMANDA (including this version) can use SAMBA to back up Microsoft(TM) Windows95/NT hosts. The amanda package contains the core AMANDA programs and will need to be installed on both AMANDA clients and AMANDA servers. Note that you will have to install the amanda-client and amanda-server packages as well. -- Yours Sincerly, Christian Zoffoli ''~`` ( o o ) +---------------------------.oooO--(_)--Oooo.--------------------------+ | LittlePenguin H 1 L.U.G. http://www.littlepenguin.org | | PGP: ~czoffoli/czoffoli.asc | | | | .oooO [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | ICQ: 50684793 ( ) Oooo.
