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.
