Are there some "server" applications/components (which are not automatically installed as dependencies during the install process of Amanda backup application) which need to be installed on a Linux machine BEFORE the backup application can be successfully installed and used on a Linux computer ???

I have tried to install Amanda and keep running into points where it does not seem to be able to complete due to some missing components. In other words, will Amanda install & run on a Linux computer which has not been setup as a server ?

Thanks.

Which operating system are you using ?

That backup software appears to be in the Ubuntu repositories, so should install with dependencies just fine.
