Does anyone have an amanda rpm for RHEL3? I have a client with this server
and I would like to put amanda on it to do the backups. Will one of the
rpm's for rhe[ls]4 work?

I would prefer to use a package instead of compiling. I tried to compile and
apparently the server doesn't have all the necessary packages to compile.

TIA,
Gordon

I recommend reading this: http://www.math.ohiou.edu/~hyclak/casit/amanda/

Recompiling is really the best way to do things, the page above shows you
how to do that within the RPM environment so you get the advantages of both.

Hi all, I want to specify "estimate server" in my dumptype definition in
my amanda.conf file; however, amanda doesn't seem to like it:

"/", line 68: dump type parameter
expected
"/", line 68: end of line expected

Here's the section of the amanda.conf

define dumptype high-tar {
root-tar
comment "partitions dumped with tar"
compress client fast
index
priority high
estimate server
}

Is it not in Version 2.4.4p3?

am I doing something wrong?

Doesn't look like it. My old server was 2.4.4.? and it is
not on the amanda/amanda.conf man page. Is it on yours?

My 2.4.4 was from 2003. From the ChangeLogs of 2.5, it appears
calcsize and server estimates may have gone in in August 2004.

Thanks. I see they have added it. It wasn't there a few weeks ago.

I have downloaded it and installed it. Now the problem appears to be the
xinetd setup. The RPM did not install the files for xinetd. Can someone tell
me what I need for the redhat xinetd? I tried to add an amanda entry, but it
is not working.

Do I need to add files for amandidx and amidxtape? Does my entry above look
correct? Can anyone give me the right setup for this?

I did not manually add any entries to my Fedora 4 server. First used
the Fedora rpm, later the zmanda one. Here are the three files on my
system.

# default: off
# description: The client for the Amanda backup system.\
# This must be on for systems being backed up\
# by Amanda.

service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amandabackup
group = disk
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
disable = no
}
# default: off
#
# description: Part of the Amanda server package

service amandaidx
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amandabackup
group = disk
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd
disable = no
}
# default: off
#
# description: Part of the amanda server package

service amidxtape
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no

server = /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped
disable = no
}

Hi Gordon,

For setup procedure, please go through
