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