Amanda Backup: Client installation on Debian

January 27, 2010 3:28 pm / Albertech.net

If you install the amanda-client package on Debian, some things need to be configured before you can actually use the service.

1) Install amanda-client by using aptitude or apt-get install.

2) Determine which disk partition to backup by typing in “df”.

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used  Available Use % Mounted on
/dev/hda1 10000      1000         9000      10% /

In this example, you will back up “hda1”. Add this entry to the Amanda server configuration in

/etc/amanda/disklist
myservername     hda1     user-tar

3) Edit Amanda hosts file
/var/backups/.amandahosts

[your Amanda server IP]  backup

Example:
myhost.com backup

4) Update hosts.allow

amandad: [your Amanda server IP]

5) Add exclude.gtar to exclude any directories you don’t need to download.
/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar

For example, to remove temp files from backup:
./tmp

6) Open up any firewalls to allow backups to go through.

7) Restart inet.d

/etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart
