Unfortunately I can't try it anymore or even give you a hint about our setup, but 2 years ago when we had still 2 Solaris machins running we did all backup on FreeBSD servers. We routinely restored files backed up from the Solaris Amanda clients on the FreeBSD Amanda server - no problem whatsoever. (ufsdump/ufsrestore and dump/restore respectively) IIRC we did get an informational message about byte swapping but besides that everything went as it is supposed to. On FreeBSD I always install Amanda via the ports collection, that would be pkgsrc on NetBSD. On Solaris I compiled it myself but can't remember anything "special". HTH, Patrick M.
