Debian Lenny amanda.conf

[unclecameron]

There is no amanda.conf in the usual places on Lenny, so here's how you get an example amanda.conf that you can edit and put it in the right location and change its ownership so you can follow the how-to:

mkdir /etc/amanda/DailySet1
gunzip /usr/share/doc/amanda-common/examples/amanda.conf.gz
cp /usr/share/doc/amanda-common/examples/amanda.conf /etc/amanda/DailySet1/
chown -R backup.backup /etc/amanda/*

took me awhile to find for some reason, hope it helps someone else.
