I have a new mac G5 Xserve and have been told that Amanda will work just find as a back up. I am already running Amanda (2.4.2) with an old Linux machine serving as a tape host.
I haven't found any instructions or accounts on installing Amanda on OSX machines. ( I suspect this is simply because the terms "Mac OS X server" wind up matching to much indvidually, but nothing as a string - making it hard for me to find previous related posts.) Can a kind soul point me in the right direction? Will I be able to compile the 2.4.2 client on OS X or will I have to upgrade to 2.4.4? I am currently using gnu tar and zip with linux. Will I have trouble with Mac versions of gnu tar and zip programs? -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
