Hello,
I am a relatively new linux admin placed in a position to create new
backups and backup procedures. We have decided to use Amanda as our backup
utility, and I have a few questions:
While it may seem silly, it is however a fact that I understand the
concepts of how Amanda works and what takes place when it is working
properly, however, I simply don't know how to get started. I have Amanda
installed in a test environment, one server, one client. My problem is,
even tho I know what's going on with it, I don't know how to begin. Which
command do I run first? Which .conf file to edit? amanda.conf or create my own?
The documentation is very good at explaining what Amanda CAN do, but not
HOW TO do it. Something all unix beginners are aware of, advanced nix
admin's aren't the best in the world at documenting their work.
I would like someone to mentor me through the process and let me ask a few
questions to get started.
