The attached patch against amanda.conf.5.xml tries to fill in some
specific details on the operation of the vault-storage parameter, and
also fixes a couple typos in other parts of the page.
(The patch is against the git master branch version of the file, though
I believe the changes should apply easily to the 3.4 and 3.5 versions of
the page as well.)
