'Deploying' amanda is a matter of installing the rpm and editing a couple of config files about the tape drive, tapes, targets, and holding space. And maybe some firewall tweaking - but nothing really complicated. You get a lot of coverage of 'real-world' problems already built in that will be hard to match in a new program, but you do have to think the way it does...
Well then I guess thinking the way it does is what I was having issues with. I did have trouble wrapping my head around it. And after a fair bit of googling (and if I'm not mistaken asking on this list) I really could find no examples of a configuration as simple as the one I was looking for.
I'm happy where I am. It is all very basic stuff (knock on wood - hee, hee). And I've got stuff that Amanda cannot possibly have since it is very specific to our environment.
