Amanda features
- Device API: pluggable interface to storage devices, supporting tapes, vtapes, RAIT, and Amazon S3
- Perl Interface: New perl modules link directly to Amanda, to support writing Amanda applications in Perl.
- New 'local' security driver supports backups of the amanda server without any network connection or other configuration.
Amanda commands
- amverify and amverifyrun are deprecated and replaced with the new, more flexible amcheckdump.
- amdd and ammt are deprecated.
- New amcryptsimple, amgpgcrypt - encryption plugins based on gpg.
- New amserverconfig, amaddclient - Initial Amanda configuration tools (Please see man page for details)
Amanda configuration
- Amanda configuration file amanda.conf additions
- flush-threshold-dumped
- flush-threshold-scheduled
- taperflush
- device_property
- Parameter default changes
- usetimestamps default to yes
Amanda compilation and installation
- configure --disable-shared doesn't work because perl modules require shared libraries. Use configure --with-static-binaries to build statically linked binaries.
- glib is required to compile and run amanda.
- Some Amanda files are now installed in new amanda/ subdirectories: libraries are now installed in $libdir/amanda and internal programs are now installed in $libexecdir/amanda.
- The amandates file, previously at /etc/amandates, is now at $localstatedir/amanda/amandates. Users should move existing /etc/amandates in the Amanda client when you upgrade Amanda to this release.
- Almost 200 unit tests are available via 'make installcheck'.
