RHBA-2013:0427 - amanda bug fix update

Synopsis

amanda bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated amanda packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

AMANDA, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver, is a backup system that allows the administrator of a LAN to set up a single master backup server to back up multiple hosts to one or more tape drives or disk files.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the amandad daemon, which is required for successful running of AMANDA, was located in the amanda-client package; however, this package was not required during installation of the amanda-server package. Consequently, AMANDA did not work properly. The amanda-client package has been added to the amanda-server dependencies and AMANDA works correctly now. (BZ#752096)

All AMANDA users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
