Hi
 
As a newbie to amanda, i plan on running it on linux. Platform is Redhat 8.0. with apache webserver on Intel based server. 
Looking to use Redhat 8.0 rpm to install amanda.
 
Could someone please confirm the following issues:
 
1.)Is there a hardware compatability list for amanda?
    Want to use H.P. Surestore dat24 internal tape drive + adaptec 29160 controller card.
 
2.)Need to be able to remotely backup redhat 8.0. O.S. + applications like Mysql + all data. No client backups.
   Only server backup of itself needed? Is it possible to login by ssh from windows client and use amanda to do server backup to 
   holding disk and then to tape? If not, is there another way to do remote server backups?
 
3.)Is the one button disaster recovery option on this drive supported under amanda?
    Can it be done without the use of amanda?
 
4.)Will the restore feature on amanda work on this drive without any known problems?
 
Thankyou
 
abs.
