Where Everything is at least the chapter at www.backupcentral.com and
docs/INSTALL (plus anything else relevant in docs, like SAMBA).
1a. Read it again. ;) Really. Wrapping your head around AMANDA can
take a bit, but it's well worth it.

2a. Start with a config named Testing or something like that. Set
"record no". Play with it. Break it. Fix it.

9. Watch out for firewalls you may not expect to be there, e.g. ipchains
in default RedHat installs.
10. Restart (x)inetd. Yes, again. ;)
11. If/when you ask the list for help, be as detailed as possible about
the problem. We're a friendly (usually), helpful bunch, but we ain't
mind readers.
