I installed amanda on macos X.
I followed the instruction of this page :

Installation/OS Specific Notes/Installing Amanda on Mac OS X

All is ok.
I compiled the source and installed the program.

But, on leopard, what is the next step ?
In the documentation, there is this sentence :


Leopard

At least one user is successfully using Amanda on Leopard, though he is using SSH authentication, not BSD*. (I am testing with BSD, passed amcheck phase, will see how the backup goes tonight (08/20/2008))

Ok for the authentication but how do you run the amandad server ?
Like Tiger ?

First, you talking about amandad daemon or amanda server on Leopard?
For amandad daemon, you do the same as in Tiger, constructe the plist file, then using launchctl to start the daemon. For amanda server on Leopard, I am not doing that, I compiled amanda without server on Leopard.

And just to report, my backup finished just fine. I will do a restore today, see if the backup really works. Then report back (probably on wiki too).

thank you for your help
