I'd recommend you use xtar as a tar substitute. http://www.helios.de/news/news03/N_06_03.html
You might as well use amanda 2.4.4 on the client, it should be compatible with 2.4.2 on the server.

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?
