Old instructions I had for installing Amanda backup software on OS X Lion
- Installed macports | |
- Installed gettext (sudo port install gettext) | |
- Installed libiconv | |
- Installed pkgconfig | |
- Installed glib2 | |
- Create amanda user using the shell script from the wiki page | |
- Download and configure amanda with: | |
./configure \ | |
--prefix=/Users/amanda/amanda \ | |
--with-user=amanda \ | |
--with-group=admin \ | |
--with-bsdtcp-security \ | |
--without-server \ | |
--disable-s3-device \ | |
--without-restore \ | |
--with-config=daily | |
- Patch amanda sources, replace semaphore_t with amanda_semaphore_t | |
to avoid namespace conflict with Mach kernel | |
- Create various paths needed by amanda | |
mycomputer:amanda me$ cd /Users/amanda/amanda | |
mycomputer:amanda me$ sudo mkdir -p var/amanda/gnutar-lists etc/amanda | |
mycomputer:amanda me$ sudo touch var/amanda/amandates | |
mycomputer:amanda me$ sudo chown -R amanda:wheel var/amanda etc/amanda | |
mycomputer:amanda me$ sudo chmod -R o-rwx var/amanda etc/amanda | |
