I am not udnerstanding this.

I have host A with files that I want to back up.
I have host B which runs the amanda server as well as amanda client.
Host A is HPUX machine and I couldn't get the Amanda HP client to
compile, but host B is GNU/Linux and is happily running an Amanda
client.
So I export files from host A (the NFS server) and mount them on host
B (the NFS client), and run amdump on host B (the Amanda client) to
back up to host B (the Amanda server).

So how is it that I can do it differently?

Thanks!
