>I am trying to get AMANDA 2.3.0 to work with our tape jukebox. To be I would not advise using amanda 2.3.anything at this point. It is ancient. Also I would not advise using a "port" for amanda. In my opinion, providing a port for amanda is a huge disservice. There are just too many things that need to be configured for your local environment at build time. I fail to see how a port is going to get this right. If you're going to use amanda (which I think is a great backup system) I would suggest building it from the source. There is a learning curve to deal with, but then you will understand how it works and know how to fix it if/when something goes wrong. If you're going to use amanda on FreeBSD I would strongly suggest using at least a 2.4.2-whatever version or newer, with chg-scsi. You do not need X11 (if you build from source). -Mitch, (happy amanda user for over 2 years) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
