I have never set up amanda, but at first glance it looked a bit > involved. It's probably not as bad as it looks. oh, it's as bad as it looks; unless you get the RPMS. Amanda is not linux-specific; so it tends to install in wierd places (which may make sense under other unices..). documentation on it ends up being a bit sparse. I'm going to write up a basic howto, based on my experiences setting it up here at Real-Time. right now it's still mostly a jumble of notes. if you want some help tho, I'll be happy to send them to you (tho making heads or tails of them may be a bit troublesome).
