Hello all, Thanks all. I followed Ingo's instructions on the zmanda downloaded amanda-2.6.0p2-1.noarch.src.rpm file and changed the created amanda.spec file with Ingo's, which includes settings for 11.1. It worked beatifully, without any problem and I did the rpm -i on the amanda-backup_server-2.6.0p2-1.suse11.i586.rpm file. So far, no problems. Tomorrow I will copy and modify my old 10.2 settings and see if a backup will be done, but I expect it will.
