Thread: Is Amanda Suitable For My Needs?

I am looking at specifying and setting up a dedicated back up server for clients...(20 back ups spread across 5 accounts) all difficult physical locations... I am looking for an application that will do as much as possible automatically..IE scheduling jobs, copying directories, maintaining attributes etc etc And also that will allow easy recover/restoration of files and directories when requested by clients. Am i looking at the right...

Amanda can do scheduling jobs, can maintain attributes in backups. You can restore files when requested by clients. Amanda requires a Solaris or Linux (Unix) server. I'm not sure what you mean by "copying directories". Does "5 accounts" mean five different clients or user accounts?
