Hello all, another amanda newbie here (oh geesh, I know...) I've got it setup, just some questions about the client end. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
I'm concerned that there might be some issues on one of my clients that had the whole amanda package (and an earlier version at that) installed as part of the Linux OS install. Here's what I'm thinking� Machine A has new amanda and is configured to be the backup server (it has the tape drive). Machine B is the client. It also has the amanda software, but it was installed at an earlier time, and was configured to use a different --with-config, and it was setup to be a server. 1. Does the client thinks it's the server, even though I can connect to it from the main amanda server using amcheck? 2. Do I need to completely remove amanda on machine b, and run setup using the without-server option along with the with-index-server and with-tape-server options? 3. Can I modify the client's amanda.conf file to point to the main amanda server? 4. If I need to uninstall amanda, is just a matter of deleting all instances of amanda (files and directories)? 5. Can I run the latest version of amanda, and *assume* it will overwrite the existing config? The with-config that's on the client is the default config. I've modified the with-config on the server install. Thank you all very much!!! Michael __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
