I understand this much better now. Basically, all of amanda is installed on the

any config stuff on them, and that the server has a cron job set up to run the
dumps, and that the server has stuff set up to handle retrieval. I get it!

Not if you already installed it, and you thought that the host has some
mechanism to pull files from the clients. :)
Thanks for the help, I'm not confused anymore! --- Eric
