Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest update to Amanda 3.5.3 in Fedora 37 fixes small security vulnerabilities and improves overall backup functionality.
Update to version 3.5.3, which contains fixes for three minor security issues as well as other minor bugfixes

Summary

AMANDA, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver, is a

backup system that allows the administrator of a LAN to set up a

single master backup server to back up multiple hosts to one or more

tape drives or disk files. AMANDA uses native dump and/or GNU tar

facilities and can back up a large number of workstations running

multiple versions of Unix. Newer versions of AMANDA (including this

version) can use SAMBA to back up Microsoft(TM) Windows95/NT hosts.

The amanda package contains the core AMANDA programs and will need to

be installed on both AMANDA clients and AMANDA servers. Note that you

will have to install the amanda-client and/or amanda-server packages as

well.

Update to version 3.5.3, which contains fixes for three minor security issues as

well as other minor bugfixes.
