Chapter 7:
Configuring Amanda
Using This Chapter
This chapter contains a questionnaire that helps you determine exactly how your customer
needs his Amanda system to be set up. It also guides you as you configure an Amanda
system for the first time. Fortunately, The Amanda Company has configured Amanda so
that over 90% of the configuration options need no change whatsoever.
For a complete list of the configuration options, see “Appendix C: Configuration
Reference.”
Using the Questionnaire
Use this “First Use” questionnaire to find out how your customers prefer to use their
Amanda system. Use the results as you run Setup, selection 4, to set configuration options,
and as you create the mailbox template (usually mailbox 997). Then create mailboxes for
users.
Question Column
The questions address:
• How Amanda handles all callers.
• How Amanda interacts with most users. You assign new users the options that
give them an initial, usable mailbox configuration. After each mailbox has been
created, the System Administrator can change these options, and the users them-
selves can change some options.
• System Administration issues.
During your interview with the client, you will use the Question and Circle Response
columns in this questionnaire to select the Amanda features for this site.
Location Column
You will use the Location and Action columns to implement these features on Amanda.
The Location column uses this symbol
→
to separate the choices you must make at each
menu level to select the feature from the correct Amanda screen. For example, “In the
Setup utility, select System Configuration Options
→
General Configuration
→
Incoming
Calls” means “In the Setup utility, first select Configuration Options, then select General
Configuration, then select Incoming Calls.”
