Hello Everyone, I have about 60 MS clients that AMANDA backs up. I had trouble figuring out the best way to offer individual/small file recovery to the users until a friend suggested that I install apache on the AMANDA server and do recovery thru the web.
The apache web server has a directory for each user. Each directory is passwd protected, and apache uses SSL to encrypt the data transfer. I've found that the web works great if the user needs to recover 5-10 files, but I think large directories and multiple files would be better recovered thru ftp. Anyway, all I have to do is cd to the appropriate users web directory and run amrecover from there. I then email the user alerting them that their files are ready and will be available for the rest of the day, and that's it. I've written a small script to go thru and empty all the user directories each night. This setup seems to work pretty well, I was just curious as to how other admins handle MS file recovery?
