Uploaded amanda 2.3.0.4-1 (source i386) to master

Hi !

Could sysadmins which are interested in network backups please check this 
package out. I can fix bugs in the next three weeks afterwards I will be on a
3 month Canada trip therefore unavailable ;-)

Greetings,

				Christian

Section: utils
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Christian Meder <meder@control.toronto.edu>
Standards-Version: 2.1.2.2

Package: amanda
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Suggests: perl, awk, gnuplot, amanda-client
Description: The Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Server)
 Amanda is a backup system designed to archive many computers on a
 network to a single large-capacity tape drive. This package is
 suitable for large amounts of data to backup. For smaller solutions
 take a look at afbackup, tob, taper, ... 
  Features:
   * will back up multiple machines in parallel to a holding disk, blasting
     finished dumps one by one to tape as fast as we can write files to
     tape.  For example, a ~2 Gb 8mm tape on a ~240K/s interface to a host
     with a large holding disk can be filled by Amanda in under 4 hours.
   * built on top of standard backup software: Unix dump/restore, and
     later GNU Tar and others.
   * does simple tape management: will not overwrite the wrong tape.
   * supports tape changers via a generic interface.  Easily customizable 
     to any type of tape carousel, robot, or stacker that can be controlled 
     via the unix command line.
   * for a restore, tells you what tapes you need, and finds the proper
     backup image on the tape for you.
   * recovers gracefully from errors, including down or hung machines.
   * reports results, including all errors in detail, in email to operators.
   * will dynamically adjust backup schedule to keep within constraints: 
     no more juggling by hand when adding disks and computers to network.
   * includes a pre-run checker program, that conducts sanity checks on both
     the tape server host and all the client hosts (in parallel), and will
     send an e-mail report of any problems that could cause the backups to
     fail.
   * can compress dumps before sending or after sending over the net, with
     either compress or gzip.
   * can optionally syncronize with external backups, for those large
     timesharing computers where you want to do full dumps when the system
     is down in single-user mode (since BSD dump is not reliable on active
     filesystems): Amanda will still do your daily dumps.
   * lots of other options; Amanda is very configurable.
 .
 For a quick start read the README.server.debian in /usr/doc/amanda.
 .
 Explanation of suggested programs:
  - perl is needed for some non essential server utilities
  - awk and gnuplot are needed for plotting statistics of backups
  - if you want to backup the tape server you have to install the
    client too
