Preface

Welcome to the Application Module for Amanda Enterprise Edition 2.6.4 User Guide. This manual describes how to license and use the various application modules available for backing up various application servers using an Amanda Enterprise backup server.

  • Configuring the application modules to back up application servers.
  • Using the application modules to restore data after a mishap.

This manual assumes that you have installed and are familiar with the Amanda Enterprise Server and any relevant client packages.


Conventions followed in the Manual

  • Command line examples and program output are displayed in a box:
# This is a system message.
  • Menu options, button names, and other interactive controls are shown in boldface type. For example: Choose Configure... from the pop-up menu.
  • Boldface type also denotes literal portions of a command line; italic type denotes a variable that you must substitute with an actual value. For example,
Enter copy filename
means that you should type "copy" followed by the actual file name you wish to copy, followed by the Enter key.
  • The term Localhost is used to refer to the server on which ZMC is installed and the term Remote host is used to refer to other servers that are to be backed up.
