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