haha, well i'm good at following instructions, typically ;)
Then follow these instructions here:
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Quick_start
i definitely have yet to understand program paths (and rpm's i guess) here..
But maybe first learn some real basics first, so that you have can understand
error messages, and better move around in Unix.
We've all started like that once. (Even if >20 years ago.)
This dates from 1986:
http://groups.google.com/group/net.jokes/browse_thread/thread/60a9444026076c90/c49a0c0849fe8bb6
but needs changing some program names here and there to up to date in 2008.
i downloaded the server RPM file that is listed for fedora7 on the amanda
download page, and used the command
/bin/rpm -ivh <rpm name(s)>
when installing it (per the "Installing amanda binaries" page on the zmanda
wiki).
i have no idea where it installed amdump, i've just been following the
instructions to install/config everything per the amanda qikc start guide.. so,
past that i dont know...
These commands will show which files the rpm installed:
rpm -ql amanda-backup_server
rpm -ql amanda-backup_client
sorry for my lack of understanding on how everything works here.. its beginning to make me frustrated, i feel certain you guys are like "geez look at this idiot" or something.. [Shocked]
(edit) i really hate not being able to figure this out on my own... so if you
feel more inclined to point me towards any sort of reference material rather
than trying to walk me through trying to figure this out (or even explaining
this seemingly simple stuff), that works for me. i much prefer the method of
teaching the guy to do it rather than doing it for him method myself.
