Revive amanda-client and amanda-server. These are not the old
amanda, but rather the _current_ amanda. I mistakenly associated them with ports/misc/amanda. Please pass the pointy hat. Graciously brought to my attention by: jeh

+** CAUTION **
+
+THE RELEASE OF AMANDA 2.4 BREAKS BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY WITH
+EARLIER AMANDA CLIENTS (PER CHANGES FILE IN THE DISTRIBUTION.)
+
+WHAT IS AMANDA?
+---------------
+
+This is a release of Amanda, the Advanced Maryland Automatic
+Network Disk Archiver. Amanda is a backup system designed to archive many
+computers on a network to a single large-capacity tape drive.
+
+Here are some features of Amanda:
+
+ * written in C, freely distributable.
+ * built on top of standard backup software: Unix dump/restore, and
+ later GNU Tar and others.
+ * will back up multiple machines in parallel to a holding disk, blasting
+ finished dumps one by one to tape as fast as we can write files to
+ tape. For example, a ~2 Gb 8mm tape on a ~240K/s interface to a host
+ with a large holding disk can be filled by Amanda in under 4 hours.
+ * does simple tape management: will not overwrite the wrong tape.
