[Novalug] Amanda users?

[Mark Smith]

i used amanda for home usage.  we used for uunet when i worked there
too.  it wasn't too hard to use, was fairly quick.  not a bad choice
for a backup system.  at least it was a few years ago.

there were modules for iptables too to help stateful firewalls which
was a plus for me.

i had mine setup to write to files instead of tape devices which was
real useful too.
