Have I misunderstood the whole concept here?
I thought (after searching the web) that amanda should provide a nice and
friendly X interface, or at least a web page to do administering and job
control in?
No X interface. But of course, you can use any X-capable editor to edit
the conf-files.
Hey, we're all sysadmins; we are the command line oriented kind of
people -- at least I am, speaking for myself here...
After what I've seen so far, trying to find any documentation at all, is
that it's completely .conf file manoeuvred? If I want to change anything,
let's say awhat files should be backed up in this run, I need to edit a
.conf file, and then run it?
You only have to edit the conf-files when you add or delete hosts/disks.
Normally this is not a day to day task.
The backup itself is normally run by a cronjob at night,
without need for an X-interface either.
In the morning I read the mail generated by amanda, in a nice
x-environment, yes.
But, this morning I just learned another acronym on this list: PCABM.
