Re: install amanda on macosx-server

You'll have to configure it using the --without-server directive

Probably best to use hfstar in stead of tar too ( http://www.metaobject.com/Products.html#hfstar ) to backup resource forks.
(configure using --with-gnutar=/path/to/hfstar )

Subject	install amanda on macosx-server

I have a new mac G5 Xserve and have been told that Amanda will work just find as a back up. I am already running Amanda (2.4.2) with an old Linux machine serving as a tape host. I haven't found any instructions or accounts on installing Amanda on OSX machines. ( I suspect this is simply because the terms "Mac OS X server" wind up matching to much indvidually, but nothing as a string - making it hard for me to find previous related posts.) Can a kind soul point me in the right direction? Will I be able to compile the 2.4.2 client on OS X or will I have to upgrade to 2.4.4? I am currently using gnu tar and zip with linux. Will I have trouble with Mac versions of gnu tar and zip programs? -- Josh Kuperman josh AT saratoga.lib.ny DOT us
