Someone from the Linux world spoke of Taper, a Norton Backup clone for Linux which incoporates compression etc. It also apparently keeps an index of the files on a tape allowing for fast location of an individual file. I installed and compiled Amanda, but cannot find the INSTALL document. Is there a step by step guide to using it, or an FAQ?
