If you are only trying to backup a handful of servers initially it is very feasible. One thing that sped up the process for me is that we share /usr/local across a number of Sun boxen, so when I installed amanda once I had to just go and configure it. Other boxes which are stand-alone took a bit more time. The thing with amanda is that it is very flexible, which means there is potentially a lot to configure. There is, of course, no cute GUI frontend. However, once you know your way around and have a working amanda.conf file and a proper disklist, it's really easy to just add servers. Have fun! Caity
