Backup Central

Does anyone know of a book or some online docs that explain in detail how AMANDA works, how to use all of its tools, and how to optimize / tweak it for a particular environment? The online chapter of Unix Backup and Recovery doesn't quite do it for me. Thx!

Errrmmm ...

What exactly do you want to know that can't be found in the
AMANDA-docs, the amanda-users-ml-archive and the web in general?

There is no such thing as "The Official AMANDA HOWTO And Reference
Guide".

Yet.

Is anybody working on it?

I don't know of any current project, no.
But I think about doing it myself.
Currently I am far too busy to work on that.

A good and current Guide would not hurt, AFAIK.

Suggestions welcome.

There was at one time a site called frankenlinux.something that had a
somewhat expanded set of manpages/docs. I used them to get started
with years ago. They might be somewhat dated in that any new stuff
might not be in there, but what they ahve should be 100% compatible.

yes, I knew that site.

Google says they're down. It's mirrored here:

I have NOT read that now ;-)
