WHERE TO GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT AMANDA

Amanda is completely unsupported and made available as-is. Unfortunately, we don't usually have the time to answer all user questions and help all new sites get started. However, we do maintain several mailing lists for those interested in Amanda.

You must be subscribed to a mailing list to send mail to it. Also, the address you send from must match the address you subscribed with.

Please note: To subscribe or unsubscribe to a mailing list, DO NOT, EVER, send mail to that list. Send mail to

<listname>-request@amanda.org
with the following line in the body of the message:
subscribe <your-email-address>
and when you want to unsubscribe, use the following line in the body:
unsubscribe <your-email-address>
where <listname> is one of the following:
amanda-announce
The amanda-announce mailing list is for important announcements related to the Amanda Network Backup Manager package, including new versions, contributions, and fixes.

NOTE: the amanda-users list is itself on the amanda-announce distribution, so you only need to subscribe to one of the two lists, not both.

To subscribe, send a message to amanda-announce-request@amanda.org.

amanda-users
The amanda-users mailing list is for questions and general discussion about the Amanda Network Backup Manager. This package and related files are available via anonymous FTP from ftp.amanda.org in the pub/amanda directory.

NOTE: the amanda-users list is itself on the amanda-announce distribution, so you only need to subscribe to one of the two lists, not both.

To subscribe, send a message to amanda-users-request@amanda.org.

amanda-hackers
The amanda-hackers mailing list is for discussion of the technical details of the Amanda package, including extensions, ports, bugs, fixes, and alpha testing of new versions.

To subscribe, send a message to amanda-hackers-request@amanda.org.

There is a WWW archive of each of the Amanda mailing lists: NOTE: The Egroups/Yahoo mailing lists *DO NOT* accept email messages and you will get an error back indicating as much if you attempt to send mail. If you want to send out email asking for help, you MUST send it to the @amanda.org addresses listed above.

Some messages (mentioned in the Amanda distribution) about converting from the flat file directory structure of amanda-2.4.0 to the tree format used after that may be found here:
