amanda the piss-you-off-backup-solution

Hello dear tards.
How are you?
I'm fucking pissed.
I need to set up a backup solution for our new servers and my boss wants a free and easy solution.
So i thought how about amanda. There are enough forums/threads to help you with any problem. But oh fuck-you that is not the case.
So i come here to ask for your help. Anyone a amanda-crack?
thanks in advance
chris

has anyone here successfully installed and configured amanda?
Yeah.

so that you can amdump AND amrecover your tapes?
Look into amconvert, you have to clear the archive bit first.

>>10 I recommend 2.4.6 instead (or whatever was the latest in the 2.4 branch), I remember seeing several discussions about 2.5.x bugs, which might or might not have been fixed in later releases which you don't have anyway.
