Hi,
For some years now I've been running Amanda on my home network (CentOS 6

changes and realised that my documentation was out of date. I've been

According to the amanda doc (www.amanda.org) amanda is supposed to
install binaries in /usr/local/bin.
I have NO amanda binaries there. I used the standard configuration

Here is the rough draft of my amanda documentation.
It deals mostly with using amanda in a predominantly Windows based
environment.
This doc is far from complete. It lacks a lot, but here it is anyway
with all of its imperfections.
Amanda Backup Documentation
By Brad Tilley [EMAIL
I have written two docuements. One on excluding data with amanda, and one
on how to setup amanda to use gpg. The exclude doc is now available in
the DOCS subdir, but it was about six months between when I finished it
and a new version of amanda was released. Is there another location that
docs
a handful are interested in it.

specific to us, but general enough to probably be of use to others who
have similar amanda implementations (50+ Windows end users and about six
