No, I just didn't include one, because everything in them will
be specific to your setup.

Here's a generic example:

machine.domain.com      sda1    daily

This tells amanda to back up the sda1 partition, the first
SCSI partition on the Linux box machine.domain.com using
the "daily" dumptype that was in one of my previous msgs.

The filesystem-to-back-up thing will be in your /dev directory
somewhere: 'df' will give them to you.

Don't use 'localhost' for the machine name of the backup
server - use the full DNS name.
