amanda \- The Open Source Backup Platform
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
file, which lists tapes that are currently active\&. These files are described in more detail in the following sections\&.
.PP
All files are stored in individual configuration directories, usually under
-\FC/etc/amanda/\F[]\&. A site will often have more than one configuration\&. For example, it might have a
+/etc/amanda/\&. A site will often have more than one configuration\&. For example, it might have a
\fInormal\fR
configuration for everyday backups and an
\fIarchive\fR
configuration for infrequent full archival backups\&. The configuration files would be stored under directories
-\FC/etc/amanda/normal/\F[]
+/etc/amanda/normal/
and
-\FC/etc/amanda/archive/\F[], respectively\&. Part of the job of an
+/etc/amanda/archive/, respectively\&. Part of the job of an
\fIAmanda\fR
administrator is to create, populate and maintain these directories\&.
.SH "LOG FILES"
\fIAmanda\fR
go in corresponding directories somewhere\&. The exact location is controlled by entries in
\fBamanda.conf\fR(5)\&. A typical location would be under
-\FC/var/adm/amanda\F[]\&. For the above example, the files might go in
-\FC/var/adm/amanda/normal/\F[]
+/var/adm/amanda\&. For the above example, the files might go in
+/var/adm/amanda/normal/
and
-\FC/var/adm/amanda/archive/\F[]\&.
+/var/adm/amanda/archive/\&.
.PP
As log files are no longer needed (no longer contain relevant information),
\fIAmanda\fR
Index (backup image catalogue) files older than the full dump matching the oldest backup image for a given client and disk are removed by
\fBamdump\fR
at the end of each run\&.
-.SH "Using Samba"
+.SH "USING SAMBA"
.PP
For Samba access,
\fIAmanda\fR
needs a file on the Samba server (which may or may not also be the tape server) named
-\FC/etc/amandapass\F[]
+/etc/amandapass
with share names, (clear text) passwords and (optional) domain names, in that order, one per line, whitespace separated\&. By default, the user used to connect to the PC is the same for all PC\'s and is compiled into
\fIAmanda\fR\&. It may be changed on a host by host basis by listing it first in the password field followed by a percent sign and then the password\&. For instance:
