26 Description: Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Server)
27 Amanda is a backup system designed to archive many computers on a
28 network to a single large-capacity tape drive. This package is
29 suitable for large amounts of data to backup. For smaller solutions
30 take a look at afbackup, tob, ...
33 * will back up multiple machines in parallel to a holding disk, blasting
34 finished dumps one by one to tape as fast as we can write files to
35 tape. For example, a ~2 Gb 8mm tape on a ~240K/s interface to a host
36 with a large holding disk can be filled by Amanda in under 4 hours.
37 * built on top of standard backup software: Unix dump/restore, and
38 later GNU Tar and others.
39 * does simple tape management: will not overwrite the wrong tape.
40 * supports tape changers via a generic interface. Easily customizable
41 to any type of tape carousel, robot, or stacker that can be controlled
42 via the unix command line.
43 * for a restore, tells you what tapes you need, and finds the proper
44 backup image on the tape for you.
45 * recovers gracefully from errors, including down or hung machines.
46 * reports results, including all errors in detail, in email to operators.
47 * will dynamically adjust backup schedule to keep within constraints:
48 no more juggling by hand when adding disks and computers to network.
49 * includes a pre-run checker program, that conducts sanity checks on both
50 the tape server host and all the client hosts (in parallel), and will
51 send an e-mail report of any problems that could cause the backups to
53 * can compress dumps before sending or after sending over the net, with
54 either compress or gzip.
55 * can optionally synchronize with external backups, for those large
56 timesharing computers where you want to do full dumps when the system
57 is down in single-user mode (since BSD dump is not reliable on active
58 filesystems): Amanda will still do your daily dumps.
59 * lots of other options; Amanda is very configurable.
61 For important notes, see /usr/share/doc/amanda-server/README.Debian.
63 Explanation of suggested programs:
64 - perl is needed for some non essential server utilities
65 - gnuplot is needed for plotting statistics of backups
66 - to backup the tape server, you need to install the client too
