From a somewhat simplistic point of view, amanda is just a control system to put dumps from multiple machines on a single tape in an inteligent manner. At some point they added a GNU tar option, but you only need that for filesystems without dump equivlents (i.e. ext2fs for quite some time (though it now has a dump program)). -- Brooks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
