On 25-Jan-2002, I started a thread with the subject "Who uses Amanda?" I got many answers up through 30-Jan. One of the most comprehensive came from John Jackson:
============================================= There are currently 1187 addresses on the amanda-users mailing list, and 561 on amanda-hackers. Running that all through uniq (and some other Perl magic), I came up with 1257 "domains" represented. Some caveats about that number. Not all sites running Amanda subscribe to the mailing lists, but not everybody subscribed to the list runs Amanda. Also, some of the addresses are clearly internal mailing lists, so the number of people who actually get the E-mail is certainly higher. Looking through the list, paying particular attention to .com's (since they are so much more important the rest of us peons :-), I see several names I recognize right away: 3com.com (3com) adp.com (ADP) attbi.com (AT&T) bbn.com (BBN) boeing.com (Boeing) corning.com (Corning) cypress.com (Cypress) daimlerchrysler.com (Chysler) dell.com (Dell) fedex.com (Federal Express) ge.com (General Electric) goodyear.com (GoodYear) harris.com (Harris) honeywell.com (Honeywell) hp.com (Hewlitt-Packard) ibm.com (IBM) informix.com (Informix) kodak.com (Kodak) mot.com (Motorola) nokia.com (Nokia) nsc.com (National Semiconductor) oracle.com (Oracle) philips.com (Phillips) redhat.com (Red Hat) ricoh.com (Ricoh) siemens.com (Siemans) sun.com (Sun) trw.com (TRW) valinux.com (VA Linux) xerox.com (Xerox) I'm sure there's a few billion dollars of worth floating around there, and I only looked at the U.S. .com entries. There are almost 500 international entries and another hundred .edu's (and if you don't think universities are in it for the money ... :-). John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================= You should be able to search the archives with this specific subject and find all the responses. Let me know if I can help in any way. -Kevin Zembower >>> Toni Schlichting <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/26/02 03:59PM >>> Meanwhile I prepared a list of projects in which Amanda was used. As F-O-M doesn't provide much information I followed a recommendation of Dietmar Goldbeck who suggested to search google like this: http://www.google.de/search?num=50&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=amanda+datensicherung I exchanged the term "datensicherung" with "backup" and ended up with a huge number of hits. Then I searched the list for entries which gave a strong indication like this one: http://leda.law.harvard.edu/leda/manual/install/ Where I could find the following statement: At the LII we use and like the Amanda backup software This finally lead to an entry in my list. What do you think about the idea to contact all the admins who placed those nice statements on the web-sites, to make them enter their project into F-O-M? Best Regards Toni Greg A.
