Amanda Config using Windows Share as vtape library.

Minor Problems:

Major problems:

  • WHS saves everything as root / Administrator. I.e., the user / group is always Adminsitrator / Administrator that is mapped to root / root, and uses ACL to allow access to the files. Why this bad? Because Amanda always uses a umask=600 for files, so that it is, read / write for Administrator / root user and blocked for everyone else. But Amanda will not run as root, so it cannot read / modify the files it creates. Bah.
