A number of commercial backup vendors ship bootable CDs with a copy of their
backup application installed.  You can use these CDs to restore a system that
was totally toasted, due to massive disk failure, being hacked, etc.  I'm
wondering if anyone has ever developed something similar for AMANDA.  I'm
envisioning something like the Red Hat installer, which boots up, lets you drop
into a limited shell and lets you partition disks.  The AMANDA bootable CD would
boot up, let you format disks and give you a limited shell, and then let you run
amrestore by connecting to the tape drive (or whatever archival media you are
using) of your remote backup server.

Just curious if anyone has ever gone down this road and if so, how far did you 
get?

Thanks,
Kevin
