Hi all,
I can't find any documentation on this, but if I'm just missing
something, please point me in the right direction, and I'm sorry for
wasting everyone's time.

2 questions: First, where can I specify who amanda sends emails to,

amanda.conf:  mailto


and who they appear to be from? After a backup it emails

They appear to be from the user that runs amanda.


[email protected], and I'd like to change this.

Second, is there a way to have Amanda log its reports to a file
instead of (or in addition to) emailing them?

amreport ... -f TheFileName
