+AMANDA, the Advanced Maryland Autoamatic 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 a single large capacity tape drive.
+AMANDA uses native dump and/or GNU tar facilities and can back up a large
+number of workstations running multiple versions of Unix. Recent versions
+can also use SAMBA to back up Microsoft Windows hosts.
+
+You will need to have a special user and group created for AMANDA to use;
+this defaults to user and group of "amanda" but you can specify whatever
+group you wish - see the build script for more information.
+
+After installing, see the /usr/doc/amanda-2.6.1p1/README.SLACKWARE for more
+information on how to modify inetd.conf to start the the Amanda daemons
+automatically at boot.
