I'm very new to amanda-backup and also linux
I'm looking for the amanda-backup setting

https://www.howtoforge.com/centralized-backup-server-with-amanda-on-centos
I saw the "tape(?)" setting in this tutorial

  1. Create tape list:

touch /etc/amanda/intra/tapelist chown –R amanda:disk /etc/amanda/intra

  1. Create slots (virtual tapes):

su - amanda cd /backup/intra/slots for ((i=1; $i<=15; i++)); do mkdir slot$i; done ln -s slot1 data

  1. Test virtual tapes:

/usr/sbin/ammt -f file:/backup/intra/slots status

I guess my linux server does not have Tape thing

is take can be replace with file-server(NAS)??

if it is do I have to change the configuration of tape?

Like many back-up solutions that evolved in the era when magnetic tape or LTO were the principal affordable bulk/archival storage media, amanda uses the same logic of tape drives, tape libraries and tapes also for disk based storage by addressing that storage as a "fake/virtual" tapes.

That will use directories in your file system, so as long as your NAS is mounted amanda will backup to your NAS the same as it would to local disk based storage: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/How_To:Set_Up_Virtual_Tapes
