I came into an existing Amanda environment what I started this job 22 years ago.
Amanda has been upgraded numerous times on many platforms, and while we have
migrated away from SGI clients we continue to have Solaris clients and several
flavors of linux. Backup servers vary between Solaris and
I'm running Amanda 3.5.1 on 3 backup servers in 3 different departments. One of them is on the small
side and still running LTO6 in an Overland tape library with 1 drive. The other 2 are sizeable in
terms of data, but small in terms of servers. Roughly half a dozen Linux Ubuntu 16.04 servers
I've had an amanda “world” running for 15 or 20 years. I have 33 unix nodes,
of varying flavors of unix. They play together nicely, though you can’t unpack
a file
on a different flavor of unix. I think you can with TAR rather than DUMP.
And, since many of my disks are big, I’m using a lot
I suggest amtape to vtl and amvault fulls periodically to tape for offsite

Howdy, all!
We've recently had some problems at work with our backup provider, so my
boss has come to me and requested a recommendation for bringing backups
in-house. I've previously adminned a small amanda installation back in
2000-2006 and I quite liked the system and how it works, so that was
