Please let me setup the scenerio first for 2 unix machines. The amanda server machine(amserver) is running redhat linux 9, the amanda client(amclient) machine is running FC2. In addition to serve the client machine, amserver also backups some files locally. The amserver is already setup to backup itself. I'm installing amanda on amclient now. This is my first time to set up amanda, so it's confusing how the client and server coordinates so that the server will backup itseft and also backup files from amclient. From amclient: I do ./configure --with-user=general --with-group=disk --with-amandahosts --with-configdir=/Backup/Configs --with-config=WeeklySet --with-index-server=amserver --with-tape-server=amserver --prefix=/Backup/usr --with-gnutar-listdir=/Backup/amanda/gnutar-listdir.

Did I get it right?
From amserver, since amanda is already installed and running, I'm not sure what I should change so that it will backup the file from the client machine.

Please help?
