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.
|
|
|
|
|
Recent versions can also use SAMBA to back up Microsoft Windows hosts.

this defaults to user and group of "amanda" but you can specify whatever
|
|

|
group you wish - see the build script for more information.
