So I'll post it hear for comment. For a while I had been interested in the Amanda package, but hadn't had the time to look into it. I recently had reason to investigate it further so decided to look at making a version available for cygwin. Here are some of my efforts to get a full version (server & client) of Amanda running on cygwin. Version of amanda for cygwin. Available for gentoo: http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app-backup/amanda Available for debian: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amanda-server The version 3.3.2 is the latest stable version. sdesc: "AMANDA Network Backup program" ldesc: "AMANDA, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver, is a backup solution that allows the IT administrator to set up a single master backup server to back up multiple hosts over network to tape drives/changers or disks or optical media. Amanda uses native utilities and formats (e.g. dump and/or GNU tar) and can back up a large number of servers and workstations running multiple versions of Linux or Unix. Amanda uses a native Windows client to back up Microsoft Windows desktops and servers." category: Backup requires: bash bzip2 gzip xz tar perl libffi4 libgcc1 libglib2.0_0 libiconv2 libint18 libncursesw10 libpcre1 libreadline7 libssp0 cygwin wget \ http://my-cygwin-amanda.googlecode.com/files/setup.hint \ http://my-cygwin-amanda.googlecode.com/files/amanda-3.3.2-4.tar.bz2 \ http://my-cygwin-amanda.googlecode.com/files/amanda-3.3.2-4-src.tar.bz2 NOTE: The current version of tar (1.25) available from cygwin is broken and doesn't work for amanda :-( I've created a patch for the 1.26 version of tar to create a working amanda installation on my machine. Not sure how to get the current maintainer to update the official version to 1.26. The packages is currently setup as server and client together. I haven't tried splitting it into parts like debian does. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
