On my Unix and Linux systems I use a backup manager called "amanda"
which works across my lan to a single unix tape host.
For backing up windows clients amanda works well with Samba,
but I don't :) So I've compiled the amanda client under cygwin
and am using it to backup my single w2k box.
Now I would like to investigate telling other amanda users how
to do the same with a minimal cygwin installation. This might
take 3 forms:
1. amanda seldom distributed as a binary, so a minimal development
cygwin environment is one option
2. a pre-built amanda binary with instructions for what minimal
cygwin components the user must obtain and install
3. a pre-built amanda binary bundled with the necessary cygwin
components (not sure what legalities this entails)
I'd appreciate pointers to any information on this topic.
