   * lots of other options; Amanda is very configurable.

-
-WHAT ARE THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR AMANDA?
---------------------------------------------
-
-Amanda requires a host that is mostly idle during the time backups are
-done, with a large capacity tape drive (e.g. an EXABYTE, DAT or DLT tape).
-This becomes the "tape server host".  All the computers you are going to dump
-are the "backup client hosts".  The server host can also be a client host.
-
-Amanda works best with one or more large "holding disk" partitions on the
-server host available to it for buffering dumps before writing to tape.
-The holding disk allows Amanda to run backups in parallel to the disk, only
-writing them to tape when the backup is finished.  Note that the holding
-disk is not required: without it Amanda will run backups sequentially to
-the tape drive.  Running it this way kills the great performance, but still
-allows you to take advantage of Amanda's other features.
-
-As a rule of thumb, for best performance the holding disk should be larger
-than the dump output from your largest disk partitions.  For example, if
-you are backing up some full gigabyte disks that compress down to 500 MB,
-then you'll want 500 MB on your holding disk.  On the other hand, if those
-gigabyte drives are partitioned into 500 MB filesystems, they'll probably
-compress down to 250 MB and you'll only need that much on your holding
-disk.  Amanda will perform better with larger holding disks.
-
-Actually, Amanda will still work if you have full dumps that are larger
-than the holding disk: Amanda will send those dumps directly to tape one at
-a time.  If you have many such dumps you will be limited by the dump speed
-of those machines.
-
-Amanda does not yet support single backup images larger than a tape.
-
-
-WHAT SYSTEMS DOES AMANDA RUN ON?
---------------------------------
-
-Amanda should run on any modern Unix system that supports dump or GNU
-tar, has sockets and inetd, and either system V shared memory, or BSD
-mmap implemented.
-
-In particular, Amanda 2.4.1p1 has been compiled, and the client side tested
-on the following systems:
-	AIX 3.2 and 4.1
-	BSDI BSD/OS 2.1 and 3.1
-	DEC OSF/1 3.2 and 4.0
-	FreeBSD 2.2.5
-	IRIX 5.2 and 6.3
-	GNU/Linux on x86, alpha, sparc, arm and powerpc
-	NetBSD 1.0
-	Nextstep 3 (*)
-	OpenBSD 2.5 x86, sparc, etc (ports available)
-	SunOS 4.1.x (x >= 1) and 5.[567]
-	Ultrix 4.2
-	HP-UX 9.x and 10.x (x >= 01)
-
-The Amanda 2.4.1p1 server side is known to run on all of the other
-machines except on those marked with an asterisk.
-
-If you know of any system that is not listed here on which amanda
-builds successfully, either client&server or client-only, please
-report to amanda-hackers@amanda.org.
