I'm fairly new to amanda - here's what I'm trying to accomplish and I'd
like to know if Amanda can do this. I can't find too much about this
online so hence my post.
I've got the following situation:
1. A unix machine with disk space, but no tape backup capabilities.
2. Several windows clients whose IP is reasonably static, but does
occassionally change. (DHCP with long leases) that need to be
backed up.
3. I have to be able to extract amanda's backups to a directory on
the server. (I.e. they have to be something readable and
non-proprietary, i.e. a tar or something, or if not, at least
some way to script amanda to extract)
I'm trying to set up amanda to backup these machines, I'll also have to
make a web management system for amanda. My question is: Can amanda do
this kind of thing? Has anyone done this? If so, how? (configuration files
are welcome if you don't mind sending). A FAQ or some sort of doc would be
great. I've started to read through some of the docs but I'd like to get
this up and running ASAP and tweak it later - so any help one can offer
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
cosimo
