need pointers to documentation


On my Unix and Linux systems I use a backup manager called "amanda"
which works across my lan to a single unix tape host.

For backing up windows clients amanda works well with Samba,
but I don't :)  So I've compiled the amanda client under cygwin
and am using it to backup my single w2k box.

Now I would like to investigate telling other amanda users how
to do the same with a minimal cygwin installation.  This might
take 3 forms:

 1. amanda seldom distributed as a binary, so a minimal development
    cygwin environment is one option

 2. a pre-built amanda binary with instructions for what minimal
    cygwin components the user must obtain and install

 3. a pre-built amanda binary bundled with the necessary cygwin
    components (not sure what legalities this entails)

I'd appreciate pointers to any information on this topic.
