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-2.6.1p1/README.SLACKWARE for more +information on how to modify inetd.conf to start the the Amanda daemons +automatically at boot. |
