I suppose you mean the client-installation. Did you install via tarball or rpm on your server? You can use ./configure --with-client-only make && make install on your clients if using tarballs, otherwise rpm -ivH amanda-client-xyz.rpm It is generally recommended to use the tarball, there are many things configured at compile-time, it is worth the effort most of the time. get the latest at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/amanda/amanda-2.4.4p1.tar.gz?download cw> Either way how do i direct the client to point to the server? cw> Or does the server search for clients on a network ? The amanda-server knows about the clients from looking into the disklist file where all the disklist entries (aka DLEs) point to the filesystems on the clients you want to backup. I suggest you read the ./docs/INSTALL-file from the latest Amanda-tarball. It helps a lot and covers all the necessary first steps. -- best regards, Stefan Stefan G.
