I am interested in setting up a automated back schedule and have heard good things about Amanda. However, I am confused about how to set up Amanda. There seem to be some differences in freebsd's Amanda port and the documentation I see on amanda.org. For example rather than configure amanda manually, the Makefile seems to handle that. Also file locations seem a bit different from the directions I see on: http://www.backupcentral.com/amanda.html Can anyone who has set up Amanda from the ports collection provide a blow by blow of a freebsd'ish amanda setup?
