I've always thought that "Amanda for Dummies" would be a best-seller. I'd
buy it! Even though, (some might disagree), I'm not a dummy. usually. 

Of course, somebody named Amanda would probably sue them for defamation of
character, so they'd have to put "A.M.A.N.D.A.".

Have you read all the files in /usr/share/doc/amanda-server*/

Have you read the manual pages for the various Amanda commands?

Have you googled for appropriate HOWTOs?

Have you read the Amanda web site?

Have you read the chapter on Amanda in "Unix Backup and Recovery" by
W. Curtis Preston?

Aside from all that, there really isn't any Amanda configuration
documentation.  If you want to change that, well, you can write some.
Once it's done, you can post it here so it can be included in future
versions of Amanda.  As they say on another mailing list: "Patches
Thoughtfully Considered".
