What are > >the tricky bits? hmm, I didn't see the original post for some reason. sorry about the slow followup. :) I've written some rough documentation about HOWTO and pitfalls with AMANDA; you're welcome to it, if you can make heads or tails of it. :) (mostly it's just a collection of notes. about the same crap as you see in the faq-o-matic.) amanda is one of those things you just have to wrestle with for some time, before you get a handle on it. the amanda faq-o-matic at amana.sourceforge.net is pretty helpful.
