The Zmanda Client for Windows is the community edition of the windows client for the open source Amanda backup system.
The instructions below are for v3.3. It assumes that you already have a working instance of the Amanda backup server running.
Preparation
- Download and unzip the relevant installers (32bit or 64bit as appropriate). Rename the folders to be "x86" or "AMD64" as shown below. This allows for the correct installer to be pick by using the %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% environmental variable:
AMANDA-WIN-CLIENT +---AMD64 | \---vcredist_x64 | \---en \---x86
\---vcredist_x86
\---en
- Create a record file
The installer is Installshield based; for instructions on creating an record file for see this page.
- Copy the record file to the root of the amanda-win-client dir in your %software% dir.
Notes
- The vcredist installation dir must be present even though we've added a dependency for them to be installed in a separate package.
- YOUR PASSWORD FOR THE amandabackup client WILL BE STORED IN PLAIN TEXT IN THE RECORD FILE. Please make sure that you are aware of the risks that this may create.
