I was having a discussion with someone here at the HEPiX conference, =
and
it appears folks might be interested in my hacks for doing backups of=
=20
AFS with Amanda.  These were working, as best I can recall, but
were then dropped because we switched to Teradactyl`s TIBS for our
AFS backups.

It is implemented with the following parts, available at:
   http://www-css.fnal.gov/~mengel/amanda-afs

gtar-afs-wrap.sh
      variation of the usual tar wrapper script, you tell amanda that
      this script is tar when you configure it.  It assumes pathnames
      of the form /vicepx/volname is a specification for AFS volume
      =B4volname=B4 stored on partition /vicepx (for suitable values =
of x)
mkdisklist.sh
      this makes a disklist of your AFS volumes in your cell.  You sh=
ould
      run it before starting a backup...
disklist
      sample output of the above
restore_partition
      script to restore all AFS volumes on a given partition
tocvol.c
      c program to generate a TOC from an afs volume dump file.
