Chapter 7: Configuring Amanda 49
The following procedures are based on a four-port Amanda system shared by two
companies.
To have different company greetings:
• In the Per Port section of Advanced Configuration, change the mailbox for the
company greeting on a per port basis.
Suppose the first company uses ports 1 and 2, and the second company uses ports 3
and 4. Then box_grt for ports 1 and 2 might be set to mailbox 990, while box_grt for
ports 3 and 4 might be set to mailbox 880.
To have different employee directories:
• In the Per Port section of Advanced Configuration, change the mailbox for the em-
ployee directory on a per port basis.
For example, box_idx for ports 1 and 2 might be set to mailbox 411, while box_idx
for ports 3 and 4 might be set to mailbox 311.
To use different mailboxes for direct messaging:
• In the Per Port section of Advanced Configuration, change the mailbox for the di-
rect messaging on a per port basis.
For example, box_snd for ports 1 and 2 might be set to mailbox 998, while box_snd
for ports 3 and 4 might be set to mailbox 888.
If two departments share an Amanda system, you might use the default mailboxes for one
department and create another set for the other department. If you intend to use the
defaults, don’t overwrite these mailboxes when you create new mailboxes for employees.
For more information about default mailboxes, see “Using Default and Recommended
Mailboxes” on page 49.
Using Default and Recommended Mailboxes
The following is a complete list of the default (and recommended) mailboxes in case you
need to change (or set) them. If two departments share an Amanda system, you might use
these mailboxes for one department and create another set for the other department. (For
more information about sharing an Amanda system, see “Sharing Amanda” on page 48.)
If you intend to use the defaults, don’t overwrite these mailboxes when you create new
mailboxes for employees.
