Can someone kindly direct me to amanda?

Hi,

Can someone please direct me to the sources for amanda? I tried
the columbia server, but could not find it (most likely my fault).

Thanks!

I'm not sure why Anthony Datri mentioned columbia -- the home for Amanda is
the University of Maryland. Here is the generic how-to-get information:

You can get Amanda via anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.umd.edu, in the pub/amanda
directory. As well as the software, in that directory are two Usenix
papers, and a log of all messages on the amanda mailing lists. I suggest
you review the past couple months of traffic to see what is going on.

There are three Amanda-related mailing lists. To get on the lists, send a
subscribe message to the address "<list>-req...@cs.umd.edu", for example,
"amanda-use...@cs.umd.edu".

amanda-users
The amanda-users mailing list is for questions and general discussion
about the Amanda Network Backup Manager. This package and related
files are available via anonymous FTP from ftp.cs.umd.edu in the
pub/amanda directory. NOTE: the amanda-users list is itself on the
amanda-announce distribution, so you only need to subscribe to one of
the two lists, not both.
amanda-announce
The amanda-announce mailing list is for important announcements
related to the Amanda Network Backup Manager package, including new
versions, contributions, and fixes. NOTE: the amanda-users list is
itself on the amanda-announce distribution, so you only need to
subscribe to one of the two lists, not both.
amanda-hackers
The amanda-hackers mailing list is for discussion of the
technical details of the Amanda package, including extensions,
ports, bugs, fixes, and alpha testing of new versions.

Fair warning: Amanda is made available as-is. It is under development and
I will be releasing new versions. So please keep in touch if you use it.

If you decide Amanda is not for you, please consider taking a moment to let
me know why. I crave all feedback, even negative feedback. While I can't
please everyone of course, I'm interested to know what people want and
need.

Enjoy,
Jaime
