AMANDA, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver, is a backup system that allows the administrator of a LAN to set up a single master backup server to back up multiple hosts to a single large capacity tape drive. AMANDA uses native dump and/or GNU tar facilities and can back up a large number of workstations running multiple versions of Unix. Recent versions can also use SAMBA to back up Microsoft Windows hosts. You will need to have a special user and group created for AMANDA to use; this defaults to user and group of "amanda" but you can specify whatever group you wish - see the build script for more information. After installing, see the /usr/doc/amanda-3.3.0/README.Slackware for more information on how to modify inetd.conf to start the the Amanda daemons automatically at boot.
