Our site is installing a Network Appliance in the next month or so. We currently use amanda to backup our linux file servers. The NetAp guys tell us they think ndmp was getting rolled into amanda but I don't see anything in a brief search. Is anyone using amanda and ndmp? -- George Kelbley

For restoring linux based systems, I imagine that almost everything is already there on the KNOPPIX CD (http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/).

A number of commercial backup vendors ship bootable CDs with a copy of their backup application installed. You can use these CDs to restore a system that was totally toasted, due to massive disk failure, being hacked, etc. I'm wondering if anyone has ever developed something similar for AMANDA.
