Software

• Amanda: Amanda (Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver) is a data backup system that helps to build a client/server based network, where multiple clients can backup their data to a single server connected to tape drives/changers or disk drives. Being a complex system, Amanda installation requires multiple complicated steps. Even though the Amanda website provides instructions for the installation process, it requires extensive knowledge of the operating system to install Amanda in Linux hosts. Therefore, the purpose of this document is to provide a step-by-step guide for users who does not have the detailed knowledge of Linux. This document provides detailed steps with example commands and their respective outputs.
• Ptrace: Linux provides ptrace as a process tracing tool, which can be used to trace any user application. Once a user application is being traced, every system call that has been made from the user application can be trapped at their entry and exit points. Following the system call interception, parameters passed to the respective system call can be accessed and modified before letting the system call to continue. Ptrace also provides the ability to inject new codes within the traced application. This document provides description of the usage of ptrace with example source codes.
