Hi All,

I admit that this is a very basic and primitive question. But I am asking it on 
this forum because I couldn't get any clue about this query even after 
searching hard on the internet. 


I have been using AMANDA 2.6.1 as a backup tool for my RHEL 6 based fileserver 
at my office. I had referred to the docs available at 
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Quick_start_%28old%29 . But now this link 
warns that "This 'Quick Start' is neither quick nor up to date" and points me 
to the URL http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Getting_Started_With_Amanda for the 
latest docs. I want to use AMANDA 3.x for backups at one of my remote offices. 
The "Basic Configuration" guide at 
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Getting_Started_With_Amanda discusses setting 
up AMANDA 3.x using disk-based virtual tapes and talks nothing about actual 
physical tapes (like LTO5 tapes). The document also points me to a URL "Putting 
the data somewhere safer" which doesn't contain any information as of now.

Kindly let me know whether I can safely use the quickstart guide 
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Quick_start_%28old%29 to set up AMANDA 3.x for 
my new setup ? Would be grateful if I get any pointers/suggestions.


Thanks in advance,
Yogesh Hasabnis
