I am new here as well and was quickly pointed to http://www.backupcentral.com/amanda.html as a good starting point for Amanda. Also look in the docs dir that comes with the Amanda source, it might be installed in /usr/share/docs/amanda on your system.
HTH, Jay -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ADFH Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 12:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CDR backup options for linux Could someone suggest a good reference source on getting started with Amanda and cdrw-taper in a Linux (Debian 'unstable') environment? Alternately could someone suggest another backup package that can write to multiple CDRs, can handle individual files bigger than a CD, and allows individual file recovery rather than requiring a complete partition reimage? Someone suggested afbackup might have CDR facilities - but I couldn't find anything to this effect. Amanda is bewildering me from a lack of documentation (and I think I need some cdrw-changer program/patch on top of cdrw-taper). Mondo seems to do a filesystem image, and some of the other more basic CD backup programs won't handle files bigger than a CD. Helllllp :) Most happy to RTFM - have been having difficulty locating good references at this point, however.
