Amanda Enterprise: An Introduction

This paper provides a technical overview of Amanda Enterprise. It describes design and operations of Amanda Enterprise and how it is unique in its ease of use, flexibility and scalability. As organizations of all sizes become increasingly dependent upon their data, centralized protection and recovery of distributed data across all platforms, databases and applications is essential. Yet, faced with small IT staffs and limited budgets, many businesses cannot afford to purchase and manage expensive and complex backup solutions. Amanda Enterprise software provides enterprise-level backup and restore capabilities, coupled with ease of implementation and management, at less than a fifth of the cost of other well-known backup products.
