Backup tool Amanda reaches version 2.6

Amanda, the venerable open source backup tool touted has protecting data from half a million servers, has reached version 2.6. Its cross-platform availability enables admins to use one tool to backup a heterogeneous infrastructure.
This version brings improvements in the ease of installation, the security features, the performance level, the device management and the robustness of the solution. A very insteresting element though is the device API introduced in this release. It lets developers integrate with new kinds of storage, and has already been used to use Amazon's S3 storage service.
