How To Install amanda on Fedora 34
amanda is A network-capable tape backup solution
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install amanda on Fedora 34.
What is amanda
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. AMANDA uses native dump and/or GNU tar facilities and can back up a large number of workstations running multiple versions of Unix. Newer versions of AMANDA (including this version) can use SAMBA to back up Microsoft(TM) Windows95/NT hosts. The amanda package contains the core AMANDA programs and will need to be installed on both AMANDA clients and AMANDA servers. Note that you will have to install the amanda-client and/or amanda-server packages as well.
We can use yum or dnf to install amanda on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install amanda.
Install amanda on Fedora 34 Using dnf

After updating yum database, We can install amanda using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install amanda
