This describes, briefly, how to install the amanda-backup-client on the SME server. for those of you who do not know Amanda is a very nice backup system and while I am only loading the client here (so that I can backup elements of my SME server) one could make the SME into a backup server as well. I have not done this, but email me if you need a hand. I have some pretty good notes.
In general, follow the instructions at AMANDA WEBSITE - I was able to use the RHEL4 RPM.... then I only had to do two things differently.
1. Installing DaemonTools This is the correct code.
<code>
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid amandabackup \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -DHRl0 0 10080 \
/usr/local/libexec/amandad amindexd amidxtaped noop selfcheck sendsize sendbackup -auth=bsdtcp >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
</code>
You can see in the original instructions
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Quick_start#Configuring_daemontools_on_the_client that there is an extraneous -q 0 that keeps things from starting up.
2. You need to manually create an amandabackup user.
3. Open the firewall
<code>
config set amanda service access public status enabled TCPPort 10080
signal-event remoteaccess-update</code>
Enjoy and feel free to contact me if you have questions.
