You must simply create an empty one by typing touch /etc/amandates as root and then chown chgrp it to the amanda user and group. From there on out you'll be good to go. -- Brandon D.

I would appreciate peoples insights on this file. It's used by amanda to record dates and levels of backups using tar.

Thanks, Brook Its used as the functional equivalent to dump's /etc/dumpdates so that Amanda can keep track of what levels were done when on which filesystems.
