Amanda 2.5 Released

Anonymous Coward writes to tell us that a new release of the popular open source backup tool Amanda is now available fixing many of the limitations of previous versions. From the release: "Overall the focus of the release is on security of the backup process & backed up data, scalability of the backup process and ease of installation & configuration of Amanda."

Nice...

... I've been looking for something like this. Thank you Slashdot. :-)

What a co-incidence!

In high school, Amanda was always my backup too!

Ahh, fun times.

Dev code name: "HugNKiss"

Well, it should've been, anyhow.

It is not nice to call your sister your backup.

Re:thanks amanda

[iamdrscience]

i've been using amanda at work for the past year now and it's been wonderful.

Sure it seems wonderful now, but work relationships can cause a lot of trouble. I mean, sooner or later she's going to realize you're just using her and then what?

Was Amanda's last name Hugankiss?

[remembertomorrow]

Amanda definitely gives me more than a feeling.

Couldn't help but notice that the body of the post was
>Amanda was always my backup
and the signature was
>Your wife just won't understand

Not just high-school backup...

~~~ A SLASHDOT VIGNETTE ~~~

[telephone rings]

Slashdotter: Hello? Oh hi Mom. How's my laundry coming along?

Mother: It's almost done, dearie. I can't seem to get the stain out of your Starfleet Command t-shirt, though.

Slashdotter: [frustrated] Aww!

Mother: Don't worry, I'll keep trying. [pause] Dear, are you seeing anyone? I'm worried about you.

Slashdotter: Aw come on, mom. Well, um, yeah... sure I'm seeing someone.

Mother: You're not fibbing again, are you?

Slashdotter: What? No!

Mother: If you aren't fibbing, tell me what her name is.

Slashdotter: Uh...her name is... Amanda.

Mother: Really?

Slashdotter: Yeah, Amanda. I'm serious. Amanda is really cool.

Mother: You have a GIRLFRIEND? REALLY? I'm so thrilled! Your father will be so thrilled!

Slashdotter: Yes... Amanda. In fact, she's someone at the office. We really "click".

Mother: Oh! I am ~so~ glad. You do have to be careful with an office relationship, dearie. I hope you are being discrete.

Slashdotter: Don't worry, mom. We keep it very professional when we see each other at work.

Mother: I'm glad! Amanda... that is a nice name. Is she pretty?

Slashdotter: Oh yes, yes she is. Pretty in an intuitive sort of way. And totally low maintenance.

Mother: She sounds wonderful!

Slashdotter: Yeah... um... Yeah, and mom? Amanda would really like to see my Starfleet Command t-shirt this weekend...

Mother: I'll take care of it right away, dear! Your father will be so thrilled!
