Is it possible to have amanda sending messages to a client when a backup is
started and when it is terminated?

Hi,
I am looking at Amanda to solve my backup needs. Can Amanda work without tape
devices?
I need to backup a Linux box, Fedora 18, which will also act as the server, and
a Windows 7 box, which will only act as client.
Is that feasible? Which document will guide me through the
(521MiB, 3.1MiB/s)
sendbackup: size 533100
sendbackup: end

The weird messages do not make any sense what-so-ever. Would someone be
kind enough to explain to me what went wrong and whether I have a
dependable back-up?
Thanks in advance.

This is the strange line. It is not an error. It is up to you
to decide if it is bad or not.
Thanks for shedding light in the darkness.

Only by knowing what amanda sees of the idle time am I able to specify a

Why do you want to do your own scheduling when amanda
often does a far
out how to keep a repository of
back-ups of the previous weeks like I was used to with OS/2. I like the
safe feeling of having a set of back-up tapes from which I know I can
recreate the system as it was on a specific day. Now I just have my 9
tapes used in a round Robin fashion.

With this you get a pretty standard-directories-Linux-setup.
Create directories if you need to.
Edit parameters like --with-user to meet your needs ...
