wrong?

|
| What release of AMANDA is this, btw?

2.4.3-4, it seems.

OK, that's easy :)

Unfortunately, www.amanda.org is still not accessible from China :(

I guess I can try one of the anonymous proxys, but they also,
unsuprisingly, tend not to work very well from here either.

Is there a mirror somewhere, is the relevant info installed with amanda?
I see there's a fair bit of info. I'll dig some...esp. FAQ that's there.

Thanks.

Max.
