1) You've fallen prey to the recent barrage of queued messages which were reinjected into the amanda-users mailing list. Note the date on the message you responded to is 'Tuesday, January 29, 2002 10:33 AM'. 2) Seeing this old message brought up a good point. It would probably help sysadmins pushing amanda adoption if amanda.org had some kind of "Who's using Amanda?" section featuring testimonials, similiar to what the Linux/XFS project has[0].
