From Nekoware

AMANDA, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver, is a backup system that allows the administrator to set up a single master backup server to back up multiple hosts over network to tape drives/changers or disks or optical media. Amanda uses native dump and/or GNU tar facilities and can back up a large number of workstations running multiple versions of Unix. Amanda uses Samba or Cygwin to back up Microsoft Windows desktops and servers.

[edit] Installing the package

Download and install the neko_amanda-2.5.2pl1 (version 1) tardist package from the Nekoware repository.

Installation of the precompiled binary package can be achieved using either Software Manager or inst: In the case of inst, all that's required is the command:

~ $ inst -f /path/to/neko_amanda-2.5.2pl1.tardist
install all
keep *.opt.src
go
quit

You will need "root" privileges to install the software.

A list of all files is installed by this package is available.

[edit] Package Dependencies

The following additional packages are required to run this software correctly:

• neko_tar (version 2)

• neko_perl (version 3)

• neko_db4 (version 4)

• neko_libiconv (version 3)

• neko_gettext (version 2)

• neko_readline (version 2)

• neko_openssh (version 18)

[edit] Package Incompatibilities

The following packages are marked as incompatible.

• No incompatibilities.

[edit] Package Layout

Default indicates whether the subsystem will be installed if "install standard" (or similar) is used. Order is used if any given subsystem must be installed before others.

[edit] Post installation Steps

Keep in mind that the software was compiled with --with-user=root and --with-group=sys. The old package from SGIs freeware use the same and its mentioned in the OS releated docs. The use of the --with-config=daily flag matches with the quickstart tutorial. A usefull wiki can be found under http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Main_Page .

[edit] Compiling

As for the majority of Nekoware packages, the 7.4.x release of SGI's MIPSpro Compiler suite has been used to build this package.

ERRORS/MISCELLANEOUS:

To get the configure working with the --with-ssh-security option you i have changed the shebang from !# /usr/bin/sh to !# /usr/nekoware/bin/bash. Otherwise i get a error during the processing for the SSH-OPTIONS. I have reportet this problem to the SF.net bugtracker. 

To solve the problem with the missing symbol "basename" just add "-lgen" into the Makefile for the "LINK" entry in amanda-src.
