[OpenAFS-devel] Backing up AFS with Amanda

[Kris Van Hees]

	ftp://ftp.ccmr.cornell.edu/pub/amanda-afs

have found it to be in good working order.  It implements things directly
using the AFS APIs rather than depending on the user level utilities that
come with AFS, which is just a different approach.
