Description:

This book will guide you through the process of creating a backup server and clients that use the amanda tool built into Fedora and other distributions of Linux. Everything you need to know to back up your company's servers with a single backup server is in this manual.

Inside this book, I will teach you step by step how to set up and configure a backup server and each network client, such as an app server, that will work in conjunction with the backup server in a company's network of servers. All you need are the OS discs and this file, and you can set up a client/backup server system for your company. This manual comes complete with working examples, and customizable scripts.

I have also written Linux kickstart files for FC2-4 to save you the hassle of having to install Amanda by hand by configuring the servers for you:
