Re: Amanda 3.5.1 on Debian: how to start?
Perhaps I misunderstand what you're saying, but Buster already has 3.5.1. https://packages.debian.org/buster/amanda-server I am using that exact package in a daily VTL config, with an amvault of all the full DLEs once a month to LTO (yes, almost as obsolete as the Poweredge 2800 this is running on).

Due to other software restrictions/constraints, I'm stuck at Jessie for this host :( most notably the enterprise version of zmanda/betsol to do NDMP backups of an Dell/EMC/Isilon cluster. However I certainly can test the Debian packaged version on buster since I have a few VMs running it. My goal is to eventually use a new, bare metal server to backup to disk with vaulting. This is really what I want to test. thanks, jf > > amanda-3.5.1 is already packaged in Buster (testing), so you could have > a Stretch base with amanda from Buster -- at least you'll have a > supported distro. > > Too bad I can't make amsamba work in such a setup, so no backup of Samba > shares :( > > -- > Diego Zuccato > Servizi Informatici > Dip. di Fisica e Astronomia (DIFA) - Università di Bologna > V.le Berti-Pichat 6/2 - 40127 Bologna - Italy > tel.: +39 051 20 95786 > mail: diego.zucc...@unibo.it -- Jean-Francois Malouin | IT Admin | Brain Imaging Centre | Neuro | McGill U | 3801 University | Suite NW119 | Montreal | QC | H3A 2B4 | T: 514-398-8924 |

Jessie, IIRC, is already EOL and will not receive further updates: is it wise to use it for a new install? amanda-3.5.1 is already packaged in Buster (testing), so you could have a Stretch base with amanda from Buster -- at least you'll have a supported distro. Too bad I can't make amsamba work in such a setup, so no backup of Samba shares :( -- Diego Zuccato Servizi Informatici Dip. di Fisica e Astronomia (DIFA) - Università di Bologna V.le Berti-Pichat 6/2 - 40127 Bologna - Italy tel.: +39 051 20 95786 mail: diego.zucc...@unibo.it

Any doc or howto's out there on how to proceed? At this point there are several different approaches, so the answer depends on your goals * Are you trying to upgrade an existing installation, or starting from scratch on this box? If upgrading, what form of Amanda is currently installed there? * Which version of Debian? * Is your goal just to get upgraded to v3.5.1 in order to use the new features found there, or are you trying to help debug post-3.5.1 patches in preparation for a someday-in-the-future 3.5.2 release? (As far as I am aware, there aren't any docs/howtos updated to cover 3.5.1 yet. Some effort in that direction is probably possible, but Chris is currently working on updating the build process so would be somewhat difficult to really document it properly at this point...)

Amanda 3.5.1 on Debian: how to start?
Hi, I haven't followed closely enough the thread on how to download and compile 3.5.1 on Debian. Any doc or howto's out there on how to proceed? thanks, jf
