Matteo,
I actually went and briefly looked at the Amanda website a couple of months ago.
It sounded as if it was targeting a collection of Linux servers being backed up
to a single tape drive.
I'm just backing up one server to local large disk drive. (This is just what
the sample script does as well. :) )
Does using Amanda in this type of an environment simplify life, or make it
worse.
In particular, I want to come up with a end-user friendly restore mechanism.
My plan is to keep the last 30 days of backups online and I would like to give
end-users the ability to restore their own files. Hopefully via a http
interface.
I'm not sure if that is feasible yet or not, but that is my goal.
