    Hello:

I have amanda 2.4.4p3 in a RHEL3 box, built from sources (not the rpm's by redhat). Now I want to upgrade that server to RHEL 4. What would be the best upgrade path to migrate the entire amanda database to the new OS? Should an amadmin export/import be enough?

Export/import only does handles the "info" database.
You need more.

But simply copying these directory trees should be fine:

-  configdir
-  logdir/index/info :  probably shared under the same parent dir
-  amanda home directory (maybe same as previous dir)

To find the values of these places do:
  $ amadmin x version

and look in amanda.conf for logdir/index/info etc.
