Amanda can optionally make use of the following packages to back up different types of clients or clients with different filesystem dumping programs.
- GNU-tar: Use GNU tar 1.15 or later version on Amanda clients. Earlier versions of GNU tar (some versions of 1.13 and 1.14) are known to have problems.
- GNU tar can be downloaded from http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/tar.html#downloading
- Samba: Samba allows Unix systems to talk to Windows clients. Amanda has a native Zmanda Windows Client but can also back up Microsoft Windows clients using samba. Read the Windows client section of Backup client for configuration tips and known limitations.
- Perl: As of version 2.6.0, Amanda is partially written in perl, and requires Perl 5.6.0 or later.
- Glib: As of version 2.6.0, Amanda requires Glib version 2.2.0 or later. Note that this is a fairly old version of the library -- most up to date packaging systems have versions around 2.13.0. Glib is part of GTK+ and can be downloaded through http://www.gtk.org/ or directly from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/2.18/
- Awk: One of the programs included in this package is amplot(8), which reads a data file that Amanda generates for each dump and translates that information in it into a nice picture that can be used to determine how your installation is doing and if any parameters need to be changed. To use amplot, you need a version of awk that understands command line variable substitutions, such as nawk or gawk. gawk is available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gawk/ or your Linux distribution repositories.
- GNUplot: amplot(8) also required that gnuplot be installed on your system. Gnuplot is available at ftp://ftp.gnuplot.info/pub/gnuplot
- readline library: amrecover(8) command optionally uses the readline library for its command-line edition mechanisms. (If you use an RPM-based distribution, check for the package readline-devel-X.Y.rpm.) This library itself requires either termcap, curses or ncurses. termcap is preferred, and both libraries can be obtained from:
- Build tools (autoconf, automake, bison): If you are an Amanda developer, see Development Dependencies for the build tools you will need.
