Server Installation

Instructions to install an AMANDA backup server.

Prerequisites
Add the default user and group which AMANDA will run as:

groupadd backup
useradd amanda -g backup -d /var/lib/amanda -s /bin/bash -c "AMANDA user"

AMANDA requires pkg-config and GLIB to compile:

yum install pkgconfig glib2-devel

In order to generate progress picture, gnuplot needs to be installed:

yum install gnuplot

Server Installation

cd /extra/src
wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/amanda/amanda-2.6.0p2.tar.gz
tar zxvf amanda-2.6.0p2.tar.gz
cd amanda-2.6.0p2

Configure:

./configure --with-user=amanda --with-group=backup

If you get no errors, build AMANDA but don't do it as the root user. The non-root user will need some write permissions in your source directory in order to compile, so add them before compiling:

chmod -R ugo+rw ../amanda-2.6.0p2
su amanda
make

But you do need to be root to install the programs:

exit
make install
