Well, I mention that because the server you're describing would probably be massive overkill for an Amanda backup station. It requires (well, strongly prefers) enough disk space to hold the largest partition or directory you'll be saving, but that's it. It could be the case that learning Amanda before building the server could save you quite a bit of money and/or resources. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
