I put some notes up a while ago at

I'd recommend you use xtar as a tar substitute.

You might as well use amanda 2.4.4 on the client, it should be
compatible with 2.4.2 on the server.

I have a new mac G5 Xserve and have been told that Amanda will work

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?
