This is an easy problem to solve. I have a machine which I could not
get a reliable amanda client working on (due to some Linux library
madness I don't even want to start into it). Until I am able to replace
that machine I mounted it via NFS on my backup server and put the disks
into disklist as if the filesystems were located on the backup server in
the places I had mounted them (actually they were automounted). It has
been working in that configuration flawlessly for six months and I have
even restored several things to that machine in that time.
