I'm not using any scripts (scripts available for config?), and I haven't even gotten far enough to have errors. I'm trying to migrate from Alexandria with the Bullfrog attached to an IBM RS6000/S80 to Amanda/Bullfrog attached to a 1U x86 Linux machine. I feel lost in a swamp of options. Kinda like a novice reading every possible switch to java in order to do a "hello world" println. I don't know which are important, which are not, and which are not applicable to my case. Not exactly confidence-building thus far. Three whole days of reading tutorials on configs totally dissimilar to mine and trying to guess the differences. From what I've read, Amanda is the cat's meow of large-scale network backups, and there's lots of folks who have it humming merrily along, so I can only presume I'm either stuck in a mindset or outright stupid. -- Brad Felmey
